Tips for Making Butterfinger Cookies

If you can make chocolate chip cookies, these will be a breeze. You’ll need to chop up some Butterfinger candy bars and use those in lieu of chocolate chips! Here are a few more tips for making the best Butterfinger cookies.

• Have your butter and eggs at room temperature. This will allow for easier mixing and better incorporation.
• Chop your Butterfingers into chocolate chip-sized pieces or even a bit larger. Add any extra crumbs to the dough if you like!
• Mix in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon (affiliate links). If you use a mixer, you will whip air into the dough, making them cakey vs. chewy. It also activates the gluten, making for less tender cookies.
• Use a cookie scoop to make consistent sized cookies. And if they still come out slightly misshapen, take your spatula and tap them into rounder shapes while they’re hot out of the oven!
