Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with crunchy Butterfinger candy bits. These bakery-style cookies blend classic peanut butter flavor with the irresistible crunch of toffee-like Butterfinger pieces for a sweet-and-salty treat everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in chopped Butterfinger pieces.
  7. Scoop dough into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are still soft.
  9. Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use crunchy peanut butter for more texture if desired.
  • Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
  • Stir in mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate for extra richness.
  • Freeze dough balls and bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
