Soft, chewy and buttery.. these toffee cookies are studded with Butterfinger pieces and chewy bits of toffee.  Drizzle them with caramel for extra decadence!


If you love toffee, Butterfingers and chewy cookies…. then I have just the ones for you!  You’ll love the extra chewiness the toffee bits add, and the burst of Butterfinger flavor in each bite!

These cookies are the real deal… so soft and chewy and FULL of great flavors!  We couldn’t stop eating them lol.

One thing for these… the dough needs to chill a bit before you bake them, otherwise the butter will be runny and your cookies will be very flat.  You can even refrigerate it overnight if you’d like… just take the dough out about 5-10 minutes early so it can soften slightly.

I like to dip the bottom of a glass in some granulated sugar and slightly flatten the scoops of dough before baking, for two reasons.  One, all the cookies stay fairly uniform in size and shape.  And two, because it gives them a slightly sparkly look once they’re baked… and sparkly things are fun 🙂

You can eat these toffee cookies as is… they’re certainly delicious enough… or you can get reallllllly indulgent and drizzle some caramel sauce over the tops!!  Now I can’t take the credit for these cookies… Paula over at Call Me PC came up with the toffee cookies recipe, I just added some Butterfinger and optional caramel.

Soft, chewy and buttery.. these toffee cookies are studded with Butterfinger pieces and chewy bits of toffee. Drizzle them with caramel for extra decadence!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup stick butter softened, 1/2
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs room temperature
  • 2 cups + 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup toffee bits
  • 1/3 cup Butterfinger pieces see Notes section below recipe

Instructions

  • To the bowl of a stand mixer, add butter and brown sugar and beat on MED speed until creamed together.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • To a small mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt and whisk together to mix.
  • Add in half the flour mixture and mix on LOW until just incorporated.
  • Repeat with remaining half of the flour mixture.
  • Stir in toffee and Butterfinger chips with a wooden spoon.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use a small cookie scoop (or a spoon) to scoop out approximately 1 Tablespoon sized scoops of dough, placing them a couple inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
  • Dip the bottom of a flat-bottomed drinking glass into some granulated sugar and press down slightly to flatten balls of dough just a bit.
  • Bake for approximately 9 minutes.
  • At this point, the centers of the cookie will NOT look set, but the edges should be just a little golden brown.
  • Remove baking sheet from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then remove cookies to a cooling rack to continue to cool.
  • Eat cookies as is, or drizzle with some caramel sauce and enjoy!

Chef Tips

1. Preparation time does not include chilling time.
2. For Butterfinger bits you can either crush up a candy bar (using a food processor or place the candy in a sealed bag and crush with rolling pin) or purchase a bag of precrushed Butterfinger pieces (this is what I did).
3. Recipe slightly adapted from Call Me PC

    I followed your recipe to the letter. Had fresh and newly purchased ingredients. My cookies flatten out until almost see-through! The second cookie sheet, I didn’t use the glass to flatten them and they still spread out.
    I put the dough back in the refrigerator (even though it was still chilled), raised my oven temp to 375, cut the cooking time down and tried a third batch. Same results.
    I am a long time baker. Any suggestions??

      Oh no! I’ve never had that happen before… they’re not supposed to be super thick cookies, but definitely not that flat either. Did you use real butter, and not a margarine or blend? I only ask because other readers have used those and had very similar results.
