Kathy's Peanut Butterfinger® Oatmeal Cookies Recipe
Recipe by: KirklandCook
"This recipe uses leftover Halloween candy and delivers a thin, crisp, and chewy cookie that is irresistible. Similar types of candy bars could be substituted for Butterfinger®."
2Process flour, oats, baking soda, and salt in a food processor until blended.
3Beat peanut butter, brown sugar, white sugar, shortening, and unsalted butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well-blended. Add vanilla.
4Stir flour mixture into peanut butter mixture; add crushed peanut butter candy and stir until just combined. Drop 1-inch spoonfuls of the dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.
5Bake cookies in the preheated oven until light brown, about 15 minutes.
