Butterfinger Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3/4 cup sugar
    2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
    1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
    2 egg whites
    1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
    1 1/4 cups chunky peanut butter
    1 cup flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
    5 (2 1/8 ounce) butterfinger candy bars
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
    In a food processor, blend sugars, butter, egg whites, and vanilla until light and fluffy, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the work bowl, about 1 minute.
    Add the peanut butter and process using on/off pulses until combined, about 20 seconds.
    Add flour, salt and baking soda and blend until just combined using 2 to 3 on/off turns; do not over process.
    Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
    Cut candy bars into 1/2 inch pieces and stir into dough.
    Mound dough by 1 1/2 tablespoons onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
    Flatten slightly using fingers.
    Bake until dry in appearance and centers are slightly soft to touch, about 15 minutes.
    Cool on cookie sheets 3 minutes before removing (they will fall apart until the candy hardens up a bit).
    Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
