4 Ingredient Butterfinger Cookie Bars

butterfinger cookie bars out of oven

I’m a lazy baker and batches of cookies are a prime example. Luckily, Butterfinger Cookie Bars are a thing!

With the deliciously soft, chewy texture of a cookie with chopped Butterfinger candy bar bits in the batter, they are an easy make.

Plus slicing the cookies bars is convenient!

These easy Butterfinger cookie bars skip all the scooping, rolling, and chilling, that are required to make a batch of cookies.

Instead, you press all the dough in the pan, and some magic and make cookie “bars” instead.

I think the texture is very similar to Blondies, more of a brownie (without the chocolate). Think a non-chocolate version of a brownie.

They are a delicious dessert that will have you going back for more!

Thanks, Briana for the recipe!
