Butterfinger Cookies

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with some family to go through photos for our family tree.  My mother brings dinner and I sometimes bring dessert!  I found this recipe in my book: "Recipes from Gloria".  This is the third recipe in a row that I've gotten from this book.  All three have been fantastic!  These cookies were super yummy.  The recipe below makes 2-3 dozen.  One cookie is a serving.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs whites
1 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5 Butterfinger candy bars (2.1 oz each), chopped

Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, beat in egg whites.  Stir in peanut butter and vanilla.  Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.  Gradually add to the creamed mixture and stir in candy bars.

Shape into 1 1/2 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets.  Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove to wire racks to cool.
