I have another irresistible cookie for you today for week four of 12 weeks of Christmas cookies. This one is a sweet, fudgy, dark chocolate, chewy cookie loaded with creamy chocolate chips and pieces of Butterfinger candy bars.
I bookmarked this recipe in 2009 intending to make it right away, but just never got around to it. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it again. Jenny, Picky Palate, says this is one of her all time favorite cookies and now I know why. It’s rich, super chewy, and double chocolate delicious. Jenny definitely knows how to kick a cookie up a notch.

Chocolate Fudge Butterfinger Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups flour
- 1 ¼ cups cocoa powder I used [King Arthur Double-Dutch Cocoa]
- 2 tsps. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 Full size Butterfinger Bars crushed
- 1 ½ Cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment or silpat liners.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla and mix until well combined.
- Stir in flour mixture until just combine. Then stir in crushed butterfinger and chocolate chips. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, should still be soft in center. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. (High altitude changes: I reduced the granulated sugar to ¾ cup, add 1 tablespoon flour, and decreased the baking soda to 1 ½ teaspoons.)

I LOVE Butterfingers in cookies. So much so that I now keep some in my pantry all the time. I recently made some chocolate cookies and threw a few crushed Butterfingers in a little of the dough. So good. Love the texture those candy bars give baked goods. Great pick.
