Description
Learn how to make delicious Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Cookies. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars
- 1/2 cup caramel bits
Feel free to substitute the Butterfinger candy bars with your favorite crunchy chocolate if you prefer, and if you can’t find caramel bits, soft caramels chopped into pieces work just as well.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. My parents always told me this step is where the magic begins, as it sets the foundation for a perfect cookie texture.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped Butterfinger pieces and caramel bits, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center may look slightly underdone, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
