Butterfinger Cookies

I got this recipe from my friend Candy, who was teaching the Laurels how to make them.  She said she got the recipe from one of her Young Women's leaders!

1 ¼ cup shortening

¾ cup sugar

¾ cup brown sugar

3 Tablespoon maple syrup

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 ¾ cup flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3 cups oats

2 King Size Butterfinger Bars (chopped)

Preheat oven 350 degrees

1. Combine shortening, sugar, brown sugar, syrup, egg and vanilla.
2. Stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and oats.
3. Add dry ingredients (1 cup at a time) and blend.
4. Stir in chopped Butterfinger bars
5. Form dough into 1 inch balls and bake on greased cookie sheets 8-10 minutes (Cookies should be a little under-done, otherwise they will be too hard.) 
6. Remove from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for a minute or two.  Remove to cooling rack.
