Steps:

  • Layer ingredients in order given in a 1 quart wide mouth canning jar. Mix flour with baking powder and salt.When placing in jar, to keep flour mixture from sifting down through the other ingredients, it helps to put flour mixture into a thin sandwich bag.or place flour mixture into bottom of jar and layer other ingredients on top.I try not to place "white on white" in the jars.looks prettier that way.Sometimes I lay jar on its side after and layer ingredients that way -- makes a pretty "sand art" type of gift.use your imagination. Place these instructions on your gift jar:.
  • Empty mix into large bowl. Empty flour mixture into jar contents.Mix thoroughly.
  • Add: 2 sticks butter, or margarine, melted.(do not use diet).4 large eggs and 2 tsps vanilla.
  • Mix until blended.

Tips:

  • Use fresh butter: Fresh butter will give your cookies a richer flavor and a better texture.
  • Soften your butter properly: Your butter should be soft enough to mix easily, but it shouldn't be melted. If your butter is too soft, your cookies will spread too much in the oven.
  • Chill your dough before baking: Chilling your dough will help the cookies hold their shape better in the oven.
  • Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop will help you get evenly-sized cookies that will bake evenly.
  • Bake your cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make your cookies dry and crumbly. The cookies should be slightly puffy and the edges should be just starting to brown.
  • Let your cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Butterfinger cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Butterfinger cookies every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
