  • 1 cup canola oil (or use avocado oil or coconut oil)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Notes

NOTE:  The secret to these cookies is making sure they are not crowded. Give them plenty of space when baking as they spread.
 
NOTE: My cookies took about 18-19 minutes to bake.
 
NOTE: A 12.375-oz. bag of Butterfingers yields 2 cups of chopped Butterfingers.
