How to make Butterfinger Cookies

First, line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper (or you can use a Silpat Baking Mat instead). And preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

A glass bowl contains peanut butter and cream cheese, surrounded by Butterfinger candy wrappers, vanilla extract, an egg, and other baking ingredients on a marble countertop.

Cream together 1/2 cup of softened Unsalted Butter and 1/2 cup of Creamy Peanut Butter. (I used the Member’s Mark Creamy Peanut Butter from Sam’s.)

A mixing bowl containing creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and white sugar, with a cup of flour and candy wrappers in the background on a marble countertop.

Next, add in 3/4 cup of Brown Sugar and 1/4 cup of Granulated Sugar. Mix all together until combined.

Then mix in 1 Egg and 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract.

A mixing bowl containing baking ingredients like flour and peanut butter. Wrappers of Butterfinger candy and chopped Butterfinger pieces are nearby.

Time for the dry ingredients! Add in 1 1/2 cup of Unbleached Flour, 1/2 teaspoon of Salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda.

Mix it all together well.

Use a 2 tablespoon Cookie Scoop (HERE is the one I use) to make the cookie dough balls.

Scoops of cookie dough on parchment paper are displayed, with a mixing bowl of dough and several candy wrappers nearby.

Space the cookie dough balls about 2″ apart on the Baking Sheets and bake in the oven for 9 minutes.

Once they are done baking, take them out of the oven and sprinkle on the remaining butterfinger pieces.

Finally, let the cookies cool on the hot Baking Sheets for at least another 10 minutes. Then move them to a Cooling Rack to finish cooling before serve. ENOY!

How do I make my Butterfinger Cookies chewy instead of crunchy?

Don’t over bake the cookies!

I bake my cookies at 350 degrees for 9 minutes. Then I let them cool on the hot Baking Sheets for an additional 10 minutes. This keeps the center of the cookies soft and chewy! (Just the way I like it!)

How do you store Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies?

Butterfinger Cookies need to be kept in an airtight container and stored at room temperature. They will keep for up to 1 week.
