Can I make the batter the night before?
Becky Bentley says
Walmart has put the Butterfinger bits in the ice cream topper section with the Hershey’s syrup.
They’re called dessert toppers.
Heidi says
That’s a great tip, Becky… thanks for letting us know!
Melinda M Patek says
My husband is highly allergic to eggs. Have you ever tried using anything besides eggs as a binder and still have any of these turn out? I was just wondering which worked for you if you did try anything besides eggs?
Heidi says
Hi Melinda ~ I honestly haven’t tried substituting anything else for the eggs, but if you do… let me know how they turn out!
Rosemary Wheeler says
I’m looking forward to trying this recipe but don’t have non-stick cookie sheets. The recipe says non- greased but wonder if I can use a spray like PAM on the cookies sheet?
Candy. says
Can you make the batter up the night before you bake them
Janet says
My cookies puffed up nicely but when the cooled they were flat. They are very tasty but wondered if this was the result I should have achieved. I put the dough back in the fridge thinking perhaps I needed to let them chill longer but still same result. Suggestions???
Heidi says
Hi Janet ~ that’s a pretty typical result… the cookies will puff up when baking and flatten out a bit while cooling. Hope that helps!
sandra key says
Made these today and they were delicious. Very easy to make even when the electricity went out
Heidi says
So glad you liked them, Sandra! 😉
Janice says
Recipe calls for NESTLÉ Butterfinger pieces, but instructions mention REESES mini chips. I assume the chip is interchangeable….I have NESTLE toffee pieces. I’m going to assume I can use those?
Heidi says
Hi Janice ~ thanks for catching that typo! I just fixed that. 😉 Yes… the recipe is very flexible with mix-ins… I’ve made them before with the Toffee Pieces and they’re AMAZING! Here’s a link to that recipe…

Ambrosia says
Hi how big were the dough balls you used to get 3 dozen?
Heidi says
Hi Ambrosia ~ approx. 1.5″ in diameter.
ColleenB.~Texas says
Just now found your Butterfinger Cookies over the weekend.
Only difference; I used a white cake mix. They are sooooooo good.

So glad you liked them, Colleen! 🙂
