-Leavening agents: You will need 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to make the cookie bars rise and puff up nicely during the baking process.

How to Make Butterfingers Cookie Bars

Prep

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F.

Then, grease the inside of a 9×13 baking pan and set aside.

Make cookie dough

Then, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set the bowl aside.

In another medium size bowl, use an electric handheld mixer to cream together the butter and both white and brown sugars.

In the sugar mixture, add in the eggs and the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.

After that, slowly add in the flour to the egg and butter mixture. Stir well to combine until all the white flour is combined.

Lastly, stir in 3/4 cups of the Butterfinger chips. Mix to combine.

Bake

Proceed to spread the dough out evenly into the prepared baking sheet.

Then, sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger chips on top of the cookie dough.

Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are browned.

Serve

Let the cookies cool before cutting into squares and serving. Enjoy!

How long are Butterfinger cookie bars good for?

If you keep these cookies well wrapped or stored in an airtight container at room temperature, they will last about 3-5 days and still taste great. You can also use the trick I learned, put a piece of bread in the container with the cookies. The cookies absorb the moisture from the bread and stay soft a few days longer.

Can I freeze Butterfinger cookie bars?

Yes, these cookie bars actually freeze very well. Keep your cookies in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months before thawing. I recommend already having the cookies cut into serving-sized pieces because it makes it easier to simply grab one or as many pieces as you want at once. When you are ready to enjoy, just leave them out and let them come to room temperature before enjoying.

How do I use Butterfinger candy bars instead of Butterfinger chips?

To use crushed Butterfinger candy bars instead, just place them (unwrapped) into a ziplocked bag and roll with a rolling pin. Alternatively, you can use a food processor. You will need about 2 cups of crushed Butterfinger candy bars which are several large bars (about 4 king-sized or5 regular sized bars).

Sometimes I want to take family pictures and well, the kids just aren’t into it! This last photo shoot was less than stellar, but you know what, we rolled with it and ended up doing some funny poses and got some good ones! They make us all laugh, and that’s worth something, right?!
