Fudgy Butterfinger Cookies

By: Kita · Published Dec 20, 2010 · Updated: Apr 15, 2016 · This post may contain affiliate links

These fudgy Butterfinger cookies are a special treat for the holidays. They're loaded with Butterfinger candy bars and peanut butter chips for an extra bit of sweetness!

Last night was my first ever holiday party. I didn't take the time this summer to throw my normal pool party so I figured why not cram everyone into our house with not nearly enough chairs or space and just make things awkward for everyone. Cozy right?

The guests were a mix of my customers, friends, family, co-workers, ex-coworkers and a random dude who was rooting for the wrong team based on his baseball cap. It was the widest group of dietary needs I have ever had to keep in mind as well but I think I succeeded in having a little something for everyone.

Ingredients:

  • Fudgy Butterfinger Cookies \\ Recipe on PassTheSushi.com1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened slightly

  • 1 cup Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a mixer bowl beat butter, sugar and salt together. Add eggs and vanilla and beat to combine. Add cocoa powder and baking soda and mix. Add flour a cup at a time just until incorporated. On low speed mix in candy bar pieces and peanut butter chips.

Scoop with a standard (size 50) cookie scoop onto parchment 2 inches apart. Push back in any candy bar pieces sticking out of the sides.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then move cookies to a cooling rack.

These Butterfinger cookies are super yummy and remind me a lot of a cookie my dad makes every year at the holidays. You will quickly find yourself  munching on more then you planned to (especially when they are fresh from the oven) and you may have trouble saving some for Santa.

    Mmm...I love Butterfingers. I haven't had them in quite some time, though. Now would be the perfect excuse to get those sticky bits stuck in between my teeth. :-p
