Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Winter     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups Butterfinger BB's candies (about five 1.7-ounce packages)

Steps:

  • Using electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in large bowl until well blended. Add egg and vanilla and beat until fluffy. Beat in flour, salt and baking soda. Stir in Butterfinger BB's (dough will be moist). Chill cookie dough at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using 1 rounded tablespoon dough for each cookie, drop cookie dough in mounds onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 3 inches apart (about 8 cookies per sheet; cookies will spread). Bake cookies until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer parchment with cookies to rack and cool completely. (Can be prepared 4 days ahead. Store in airtight container.)

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c sugar
2/3 c golden brown sugar
1/2 c unsalted butter at room temperature
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 c peanut butter, chunky
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5 2.1 ounce butterfinger bars in 1/2

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
  • 3. STEEL KNIFE: (Food Processor recipe) Blend sugars, butter, egg whites and vanilla until fluffy, stopping once to scrape down sides of work bowl, about 1 minute.
  • 4. Add peanut butter and process until combined, about 20 seconds.
  • 5. Add flour, baking soda and salt and blend until just combined using 2 to 3 on/off turns; do not overprocess.
  • 6. Transfer to large bowl and stir in chopped butterfingers.
  • 7. Mound dough by 1 1/2 tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • 8. Flatten slightly using fingers and bake until dry in appearance and centers are still slightly soft to touch, about 15 minutes.
  • 9. Cool on cookie sheets 3 minutes.
  • 10. Transfer to rack and cool completely.
  • 11. Store in airtight container. (Can be prepared ahead--store 4 days at room temperature or freeze 3 weeks.)

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Look for butter that is at least 82% fat, and use real vanilla extract instead of imitation.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking Butterfinger chunk cookies is 350°F (175°C). If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and the centers will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will take too long to bake and they will be dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

Butterfinger chunk cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture, rich chocolate flavor, and crunchy Butterfinger pieces, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
