Butterfinger Pudding Cookies

May 15, 2015 by Emily Hill 7 Comments

And the pudding cookies keep on comin’! Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I’ve enjoyed mixing, baking and eating a (generous) sampling from every batch. Until today, my favorite pudding cookie were these delightful M&Ms pudding cookies. Man, those were scrumptious. But today…today I may have baked a batch of pudding cookies even tastier: Butterfinger pudding cookies.

Butterfinger lovers beware, you may eat at least a half dozen of these babies…and that’s just from the first batch.

Butterfinger Pudding Cookies - the perfect cookie for Butterfinger lovers! Soft and chewy with chunks of Butterfinger candy.

For these Butterfinger cookies, I took my go-to pudding cookie recipe and added chunks of Butterfinger candy bar. Don’t worry, I sampled one of the Fun Size Butterfinger candy bars to make sure the bag I purchased was fresh.

One important thing to remember when baking this pudding cookie variation: the Butterfinger candy bars will crumble as you chop them. Don’t worry, you can dump all those yummy flakes into the cookie dough. They make the dough even better!

I pretty froze all but a dozen cookies immediately after photographing them because I wanted to EAT THEM ALL. Not that a freezer has ever stopped me from eating cookies…
