Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the crushed Butterfinger, caramel bits, mini chocolate chips, and optional toffee bits.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft and chewy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
