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.

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 Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired Happy Thursday! A couple weeks ago I was inspired to clean under my kitchen sink from my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs. Let me tell you I couldn’t be happier.
🧽
When I opened my cabinets, everything fell out. I had like 10 million Target bags jammed in the back, sponges everywhere and 1/2 empty bottles of cleaners.
🧽
I measured my space in the cabinet and was lucky enough that the items Claire purchased for her under the sink were the exact fit for my cabinet. 
🧽
The drawers are a game changer. Highly, highly recommend the drawers. I filled them with sponges, and dishwasher tabs. Now they are not lost and easy to grab. 
🧽
The storage bins were purchased on Amazon. Check out Claire’s Instagram page for links.
🧽
Is your under the sink organized?

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?
