Butterfinger Cookies are wonderfully buttery and crispy with peanut butter and Butterfinger flavor in every bite. These homemade cookies taste delicious with a glass of milk.
These Butterfinger Cookies are a great way to use up Halloween candy. Don’t stress about whether you have the right number or the right size Butterfinger candy bars. A little more or less won’t hurt and they would be perfectly good without any Butterfinger at all. The batter has lots of peanut butter added for flavor.
For best results use a silicone liner or parchment paper to line the baking sheets with.
Bake Butterfinger Cookies just until they start to turn golden around the edges. Let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet and then remove them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
The flavor of butterfinger candies lends itself so well to baking with. The candies chop so easily with a sharp knife. I like to just coarsely chop them. There will still be lots of little pieces that just melt into the cookie batter but you will also have some chunks of candy visible in the cookies.

These look yummy! I’ve made one other Butterfingers cookie recipe before and loved them; but they didn’t call for peanut butter. It’s sounds like a good combination though. I’m printing your recipe off and will be trying it soon!! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
