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.)

We must have been on the same wave length last week with using candy in our recipe. These look amazing. Looks like another bag of candy will be put to good use soon.

An excuse to purchase Butterfingers! “Nobody eat these; I’m making cookies, really I am!” I will need to hide the Butterfingers in the pantry or the cookies will reside only in recipe form! My family will swoon over these. I am going to need to surprise them with these scrumptious cookies.

Drop cookies are the bomb but seriously barbara- what are you trying to do t me. You know I love my cookies and I am going to have to start selling them off or something if you keep showing me so many amazing recipes that I have to make that day. I am swamped with cookies right now- 3 different types of them made at this exact moment in my house- i probably shouldn’t have admitted that just now:)
