Description
Soft and chewy cookies loaded with crunchy Butterfinger candy pieces, gooey caramel, and chocolate chips for the ultimate sweet and buttery dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 3/4 cup caramel bits or soft caramel candies, chopped
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, caramel bits, chocolate chips, and milk.
- Scoop medium-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container for later.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 20 minutes if the cookies spread too much during baking.
- Dark brown sugar creates a deeper caramel flavor.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch.
- Store cookies with a slice of bread to help keep them soft.
- Cookie dough can be frozen for up to 2 months.
