Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Cookies blend chewy brown sugar dough with crunchy Butterfinger bits and gooey caramel pockets, baking thick and golden for candy-bar bliss in cookie form—perfect for holiday trays or ice cream sandwiches. These loaded cookies scoop easily, chill for bakery height, and deliver peanut butter-caramel contrast that reviewers call “addictively crisp-chewy,” yielding 24-30 generous treats from classic creaming method. Optional pecans add nutty depth, chocolate drizzle seals indulgence for gifting tins or potlucks.
Why you’ll love this recipe starts with foolproof balance: baking powder/soda duo lifts despite mix-ins, double sugars ensure chew, and 20-minute chill prevents spread while caramel melts without leaking. Families rave about Butterfinger crunch mimicking Bark—not soggy—paired with soft caramel bursts, many drizzling chocolate post-cool for pro finish. Make-ahead hero: dough freezes scooped, bake straight +1 minute; stacks airtight weeks without softening.
Versatility rules—thin crisp sans chill, thick bakery-style chilled; swap Heath for toffee or Snickers chunks endlessly—under 30 cents each beats bakery prices with full candy control.
