Description
Chewy, buttery cookies loaded with crushed Butterfinger candy bars, gooey caramel bits, and a satisfying crunch in every bite. Perfect for those who love a mix of sweet, salty, and chocolatey flavors.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 3/4 cup caramel bits
- 1 cup toffee bits or chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until fully combined.
- Stir in crushed Butterfingers, caramel bits, and toffee or nuts (if using).
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and centers are set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Crush Butterfinger bars into small chunks rather than fine crumbs for a better texture.
- For extra caramel flavor, drizzle melted caramel over cooled cookies.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
