As I was looking back through all the cookie recipes on the blog for the Cookie Exchange Post, these butterfinger cookies caught my eye. Even though I’ve only been blogging for about 3 years, it seems that recipes get kind of hidden in the archives. And so just like with the Oreo Cupcakes, I wanted to dig this one out! Butterfingers aren’t necessarily one of my favorite candy bars, but when crushed and added to a basic sugar cookie dough they transform into something amazing! =) Slightly crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside with lots of butterfinger flavor. They’re quick and easy too. You don’t even have to chill the dough – which is a definitely plus this time of year! Maybe you didn’t give these cookies a try the first time around, but I’m giving you a second chance ;). Enjoy!
