Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Add-Ins

  • 3/4 cup Butterfinger candy pieces, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Mixture: Cream together the plant-based butter and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add the natural peanut butter and blend thoroughly. Stir in the vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and pure vanilla extract (natural) for a mellow depth of flavor.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose gluten-free flour blend, baking soda, and sea salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Be careful not to overmix to keep the dough thick and tender for a chewy texture.
  4. Fold in Butterfinger Pieces: Gently fold the chopped Butterfinger candy pieces into the dough, adding bursts of crispy peanut buttery flavor to each cookie.
  5. Shape and Chill the Dough: Scoop the dough into generous balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to maintain thickness and prevent spreading while baking.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a rack to finish setting.

Notes

  • Chill the dough before baking to keep cookies thick and prevent spreading.
  • Do not overmix ingredients to preserve a tender texture.
  • Use fresh baking soda for the best rise and chewiness.
  • Measure flour accurately by spooning and leveling.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the pan before moving to a rack to keep shape and softness.
