Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 oz box Yellow Butter Cake Mix
- 1 cup Butterfinger Baking Bits
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow butter cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Stir together thoroughly until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Add Butterfinger Bits: Gently fold in the Butterfinger baking bits into the dough, distributing them evenly to infuse every cookie with a delightful crunch.
- Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them to allow for slight spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10 minutes until they are lightly golden and set.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and set it on a wire cooling rack for 3 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cookies to the cooling rack using a cookie spatula to cool completely, preserving their texture.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is fully melted but not hot when mixing with the eggs and cake mix to avoid curdling.
- For more crunch, you can add additional Butterfinger bits on top of the dough before baking.
- These cookies freeze well; store them in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent cookies from sticking and to promote even baking.
- Do not overbake; cookies will firm up as they cool, keeping them chewy inside.
