BUTTERFINGER-CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Using electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in large bowl until well blended. Add egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Beat in flour, salt and baking soda. Stir in Butterfinger BB's (dough will be moist). Chill cookie dough at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
