Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies

August 24, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 5 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I did my Sunday baking yesterday and I made a new cookie.  If you are a fan of Butterfinger’s Candy, you will fall in love with today’s recipe.  They are moist, delicious little cookies that are peanut butter flavored with bits of Butterfinger Candy.  OMG!!!  This is one recipe, I wish I didn’t create because I loving them!

Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies
These cookies will blow your mind. They are made with one of my favorite peanut butter cookie recipes that are combined with Butterfinger Baking Bits. Have you seen the Butterfinger Baking Bits? You can find them in the baking section at the grocery store. Here is a picture on Instagram to show you the package.  One thing about this recipe is I cut back on the sugar a bit.  I figured I was adding the baking bits, that I didn’t need all of the sugar.  Oh and get this, this recipe made 90 two inch cookies.  I couldn’t believe it.  Maybe my other recipes would be the same if I didn’t eat the batter?  Oh by the way, the batter is good too!

Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies
I remember the first time I ever had a Butterfinger Candy Bar. I was about 19 and I was at my boyfriends house. He pulled out this little minuture candy from the freezer and offered it to me. I thought candy in the freezer? I took a bite and thought OMG, who invented this? Butterfinger’s in the freezer is amazing!!!! I like them best frozen now. These cookies are great frozen too.

A traditional, light, moist peanut butter cookie that is chock full of Butterfingers.
Author: Jennifer Drummond
Recipe type: Cookies
Cuisine: American
Serves: 90 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup peanut butter, smooth
  • ½ cup shortening
  • ½ cup butter, unsalted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 large egg
  • 10 oz. pkg. Butterfinger Baking Bits
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set side. (Note you do not need to use parchment paper, but I like to when I bake)
  3. In a bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; mix together; set a side.
  4. In a large bowl add sugar, brown sugar, peanut butter, shortening, butter, vanilla, maple syrup and eggs; beat until combined. Lightly beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in Butterfinger Baking Bits.
  5. Scoop 1 tsp. batter and place about 3 inches apart on cookie sheet.
  6. Bake in oven for 7 - 9 minutes until lightly golden. Let the cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then place on a cooling rack.
  7. Note: These cookies taste best under baked. I found 7 minutes to be perfect, however my oven cooks fast. Try at 8 minutes. You want them just slightly golden on the bottom.

Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies
I love taking a classic cookie and completely changing it. I skipped the fork cross pattern that you would do on a peanut butter cookie. I like that it’s a little puffy, moist and the flavor of peanut butter just sings. If you do make these cookies, I highly recommend just under baking them a bit.  I made the first batch a little crispy and you didn’t get the same great flavor.  My oven cooks fast, and I found 7 minutes was perfect.  However, in most ovens, I would say about 8-9 minutes.  You want it to be just lightly golden on the bottom.  Test the cooking time on your first batch.

Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies
I hope you have a great week!!


Toodles,

Jennifer

    Made these today and they are seriously yummy! I used 1/2 cup sugar each and no maple syrup. Next time maybe chocolate chips. Thank you!

    I made these cookies last week and they are amazing. I will never make plain old peanut butter cookies again. the dough also freezes well so you can just bake a few at a time and always have fresh ones. these have become my favorite !! thank you for this wonderful recipe.

Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Ha Happy spooky Thursday! I added a few touches of Halloween in my kitchen. I don’t do much Halloween decorations, but I just love to add it to the kitchen. Every time I go to the kitchen it makes me smile.
🦇
To add Fall or Halloween you don’t need to add a lot, just a few touches here and there. I will give a full tour in stories and tag a few items. Majority of the decor came from @krumpetshomedecor and the towels and bat banner from @theblessedpeach 
🦇
Have the best day!

Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s sta Hello Tuesday! Hope you are doing well. It’s starting to feel like Fall here in Northern California. The mornings and evenings are feeling crisp. I can’t get over that we are in the middle of September. Where did the Summer go?
🎃
I’m sharing with you the corner of my living room where I store my pumpkins that I grew before I can take them outside. It’s been too warm for them and I want them to last through October. They have been doing well, as they have been here since the middle of August. 
🎃
I’m excited because this Saturday our local pumpkin patch will be opening. They have a huge variety of pumpkins and very inexpensive too. I’ll be stocking up. I just love this time of year.
🎃
Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reach Happy Monday! I want to thank those who have reached out to me asking if I am okay. I am doing just fine. I’ve taken a little break from posting here because I have been busy on the dogs Instagram page. It’s hard to keep up on both. The dog page is so busy with birthdays, events and engagement. They have a busier social life than me. 
🩵
I am sharing with you the last view of my kitchen before it is filled with Halloween. I spent 6 hours yesterday cleaning all the cabinets, appliances, sink and floor. I even did the windows. It sure tired me out. I’m not as young as I used to be. But it is so sparkly clean. I did put up my Halloween and I can’t wait to share with you. The dining room is the next room to conquer.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page Hi, it’s me Samuel!! I am taking over mamas page today because I got the best gift in the whole world and it even came in the mail on my birthday. How did @downlitebedding know? They are so good!
🐾
Downlite Bedding sent me the EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s so soft, cozy, hypoallergenic and it makes me so happy. 
🐾
The comforter is 400 thread count, it has moisture wicking and cooling technology to help regulate body temperature, which is perfect since I get warm in the summer with all my hair and I like to be cool when I’m sleeping. A big plus is the comforter is white, I hide very well in it. It’s hard to see me. So mama can’t catch me on her bed. 
🐾
The EnviroLoft® Down Alternative PrimaCool™ Cooling Comforter also has a Scotchguard stain release fabric and machine wash and dry. It’s truly an amazing comforter.
🐾
Mama let me do this takeover today because she knows that I love @downlitebedding as much as she does. She said she has never seen me get so excited as I do when we get Downlite Bedding and pillows in the mail. How can I not get excited? It’s like sleeping on a cloud!
🐾
Downlite Bedding was kind enough to give us a 20% discount:  DYGEN20 
🐾
Have a great day and happy napping!
🐾
❤️Samuel

Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I Happy Thursday! Here is a view of my garden that I took a couple weeks ago. My garden really overgrew this season. I need to do some major work in it, but with the heat, it’s just unbearable to be out there too long.
🌼
I had a lot of zinnias self-seed this season which is cool, but they kind of took over. They crowded out some plants, so I need to get in there and pull some out. Plus being so crowded, they got powdery mildew. Yuck!
🌼
I’m thinking for the Fall making this area a little harvest pumpkin area. We will see. I have grand ideas in my head, but I don’t always follow through. lol
🌼
How your garden growing? I lost all my potted plants from the heat. 😩

Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcut Hello Monday! This weekend I made a little charcuterie setup for my husband and I. This is something that I just love to do. I could just eat this type of meal all day long. 

I am sharing the “All White Collection” from @bzaar_wholesale. Each piece to the collection is so elegant and can be used all year round and would be gorgeous around the holidays.

The tray is made of marble with beautiful gold handles. The cheese knives are gold with solid marble handles and compliments the tray perfectly.

I used the marble flower shaped bowl for putting chocolates, but would be so stunning to use on your coffee table, side table and more.

The cake stand is has a marble base with Mother of Pearl edging and has a glass lid to go over the top. I will be putting my cakes and cookies on it in the future, but for now I used it to place my bruschetta.

@bzaar_wholesale has amazing products for your home, great pricing and global shipping. The link is in my bio.

Do you like making charcuterie boards? What do you add to yours?

Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I Hello, hello! It may be 100 degrees outside, but I can’t resist putting out some Fall. Especially when you get new decor from @12timbers.  You would laugh if you came into my living-room. Half my room is Fall, the other half is still coastal blues. lol I’ll eventually change it all out.
🍂
Let’s talk the art work. Isn’t it stunning? My husband never says anything about my decor, but he keeps talking about how much he likes the framed art from 12 Timbers. I agree, it’s so beautiful. It reminds me of when I lived back east and we would go to Letchworth Park in NY. The colors are stunning and goes perfectly with the burnt orange color that I’m using this season.
🍂
I just adore the wooden cut out pumpkins from @12Timbers. When I look at them they make me smile. The orange wooden leaf is the perfect piece to bring everything together. This gets me so excited for Fall decorating. Now to finish the rest of the living room.
🍂
12 Timbers is so kind to give me a discount code. It’s good until Saturday at midnight. The code is PBANDP15.
🍂
Have the most beautiful day!

Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignett Look at this friends! It’s my first Fall vignette. Notice anything that seems a tad early? It’s my first pumpkin from my garden. Can you believe it? They started to grow early this season so it’s time to start picking. Unfortunately the massive one I showed you a couple weeks ago didn’t make it. It collapsed in the middle. That makes me sad, but at least I have more pumpkins growing.
🎃
I really had fun bringing out some Fall decor. Fall is not my favorite season, as I love Spring and Summer, but Fall is my favorite to decorate for.
🎃
I wanted to share with you my new reversible blocks from @krumpetshomedecor. Aren’t they cute. They would look so pretty on a shelf. The one side says Fall and the other side says Boo! The two wooden pumpkins are also from Krumpets Home Decor.
🎃
The Fall blocks are the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

What is your favorite season to decorate for?

Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is Hello Tuesday! One of my favorite summer drinks is a nice cold glass of lemonade. I like it a tad sour over sweet. It gives you the zippys in your mouth. I do love a good homemade lemonade, but once in awhile I like to cheat and just get my favorite store brand and add some freshly cut lemons and a few sprigs of mint. It then looks homemade when it’s not.
🍋
This is my outdoor dining area. I put the tablecloth over the table and have kept it like that all summer. I love my table, but being black, it’s extremely hot when you touch it. Plus it has water spots from last year which is annoying. Not sure how to get rid of them? 
🍋
What is your favorite summer drink? Have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Ha Happy Monday! Now I know what you are thinking, Halloween and Fall decor in July? Have I lost my mind? Nope, I haven’t, but on Saturday @krumpetshomedecor launched their Fall and Halloween! Soooooooo many cute pieces, I’m obsessed!
🎃
It’s hard to imagine Fall in a couple of months when the temps have been in the 100’s, but it will be here soon. Time to start planning!!! 
🎃
How I styled my bar cart is just an idea. Once I pull out my Fall/Halloween bins you will see these pieces in other parts of my home. The black wooden witches books will go in my kitchen to go with my black and white kitchen that I do every Halloween. The witches broom will also go on my shelf in the kitchen as my boys 🐶🐶 have been eyeing it up. I need to keep it away from them.
🎃
The beautiful reversible art work will go in my living room, as I like to do oranges and neutrals for fall. The 3 wooden pumpkins will go on my console table. I have it all planned out in my head. I’m kind of excited, but I will enjoy summer a little while longer.
