Notes
Make Ahead Tips: It's so simple to prep these butterfinger cookies made with cake mix ahead of time! The butterfinger cookie dough can be made ahead of time, then stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking. Plan even further ahead with my simple tips for How to Freeze Cookies.
How to Store Butterfinger Cookies: After baked, you can store your butterfinger cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
What Type of Butter? When it comes to making butterfinger cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I've found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
