What You’ll Need
- salted butter– For most of my recipes I use salted butter. Unsalted works too.
- granulated sugar– This fine white sugar adds sweetness to the cookie.
- light brown sugar– This cookie recipe can use light or dark brown sugar.
- large eggs– For consistency, I use large eggs in my cooking and baking.
- pure vanilla extract– For best tasting results, use pure vanilla.
- all-purpose flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the cookies.
- instant vanilla pudding mix– Find the pudding mix in the baking isle of the grocery store. Make sure it says instant.
- baking soda– Baking soda helps the cookies rise during baking.
- kosher salt– Kosher salt is a course salt commonly used in cooking and baking. I prefer it over table salt.
- crushed Butterfingers– Some grocery stores sell Butterfinger Bits in the chocolate chip section. If you can’t find the bag, you can crush your own full size Butterfingers.
How to Make the Best Butterfinger Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugars until well combined, stir in eggs and vanilla mixing until well combined. Stir in flour, pudding mix, salt, baking soda and Butterfingers. Stir until dough forms.
Using cookie scoop, place dough onto cookie sheet, 1 inch apart.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until baked through. Remove and let cool completely. Dip half of each cookie into chocolate then sprinkle with crushed Butterfingers. Let chocolate set up and serve room temperature.
There’s something magical that happens when you bake Butterfingers in cookies, gets that peanut buttery gooey texture. So good!
Place cookie dough balls about 1-2 inches apart on the parchment lined baking sheet.
After your cookies have cooled, dip your cookies in some melted chocolate.Sprinkle with Butterfinger bits 🙂
How To Serve Cookies
Serve cookies on a serving plate, cooled and chocolate set. Room temperature is best. Serve at any occasion where desserts are needed.
How To Store Leftovers
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days room temperature or chilled.
Tips For Making The Best Cookies
- Don’t alter the recipe, use all ingredients as listed.
- For a more firm cookie, refrigerate your cookie dough for 24 hours before baking.
- Don’t skip creaming your butter and sugars for a good 1-2 minutes. Helps create a fluffy, chewy cookie.
- Don’t over bake your cookies. Cookies will continue to cook on hot cookie sheet when removed from oven.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing in containers. This will keep their crispness
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for 3 days room temperature.
