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.

This weekend I worked on my bar cart and let me tell you that I am loving the orange color and all the carrots and bunnies. So much fun!! 
🥕
In the bowl on the tiered tray you see wooden carrots, those are from @krumpetshomedecor. They are so cute!! My dogs seem to be obsessed with them when I hung them on my cart, so I had to hide them. I’ll share them in stories today.
🥕
The carrot sign on the wall, little carrot sign on the tiered tray are from Krumpets Home Decor. Plus the wooden carrot banner is the Krumpets deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off: PBANDP. Link in bio.

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural. 
🫧
The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach. 
🫧
The tray and canister is Targets Hearth and Hand. The marble paper towel holder is Target Threshold. The soap is Trader Joe’s!

Hope I inspire you to do a little spring cleaning!! Have a great Monday!

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California. 
🥕
My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. 
🌸
Have a wonderful Monday!!

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
🐰
The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an extra 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in Bio.

What’s the weather like where you live?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterd Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. Yesterday we watched on Netflix Your Place or Mine with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher. If you like the classic Rom-Com movies you’ll enjoy it.
💗
I added a little of Spring decor to my bench in my living room. I will probably change this spot up once I pull my spring decor out, but for now I like it.
💗
It’s crazy how big this space looks in video, when it’s quite small. I call this my runway zone because the dogs run through this space like maniacs. So I have to keep it light with no breakables. 
💗
The two large pillows are from Target and the little bunny pillow is from the Target Dollar Spot. The throw is from Pier1 when they had a storefront. The sign on the wall is from Krumpets Home Decor.
💗
Have you started decorating for Spring?

I have gotten so many questions lately about the runner in my kitchen that I thought I would share with you a close up and some information about it. This is not a collaboration. 
🐾
The vinyl runners are from @vmathome. They are so easy to clean, pet friendly, anti-slip, and durable. I love these vinyl runners in the kitchen and hallway. If the dogs get dirt or water on them, I just clean it up with a paper towel. They have been a life saver having them with two young dogs.
🐾
The vinyl mat on the first picture is the Dandelion Vinyl Mat. If you swipe the photo you will see the vinyl mat that used last year in my kitchen which is the Charlotte Vinyl Mat. If you sign up for emails, you will get discount codes.
🐾
These two pictures are a year apart. Look how much my baby Sully has grown. 🥹
🐾
Have the best day!
