  3. In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in chopped Butterfinger pieces until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with a fork.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers remain slightly soft.
  8. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
