Butterfinger Blizzard Cookies
My whole life, I have been a scaredy cat.
I don’t LIKE scary things and I don’t DO scary things. Ever.
EVEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR.
Honestly, I do not see the point. I do not need a brush with death or a burst of adrenaline to make me feel alive. I am already alive. Everyday I get up and take a shower and empty the dishwasher and put on mascara, and while I do these things, I am a living human.
And I know this is a fact because I watch True Blood, so obviously if I was dead while I was doing these things I would burn up in the sunlight. And also, I tried to glamor my husband once and it did not work. So yes….I am an alive human every day. Doing things.
I am pretty sure my husband and son don’t even heed my constant warnings. It’s like the words, “Be Careful” don’t even exist in their vocabulary or something. Or maybe I’ve desensitized them to it. Anyways, I guess they think that I am just an over protective baby, but what they obviously DON’T realize is that I am actually holder of the most important job title in all the land.
Hurt People Prevention Person.
Like….you know how people think that Doctors have the most important job ever and they go to school for five thousand years and blah blah blah? Well, my job is way more important than that. Because I keep people from even NEEDING a doctor to begin with.
Think of all the money, pain, and time I am saving!! I should have earned like forty Nobel Prizes by now!!
And I do it all whilst undercover, pretending to be a mere housewife. Pretty selfless of me, if I do say so myself.
So for all of you who think I’m all boring and “safe” I just say FINE. If being vigilant about saving the land from pain and anguish and paper cuts is safe and boring then I guess I’m safe and boring. But don’t forget to thank me for saving your LIFE while you’re at it.
Amazingly enough, I somehow find time in between Hurt People Preventions to make cookies. Because people eating cookies are too busy stuffing their face to do dangerous things.

INGREDIENTS
Box of Chewy Brownie Mix (roughly 20 oz)
8 oz tub of Cool Whip, thawed
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease cookie sheets.
Mix ingredients in a large bowl until combined. Chill for about an hour. Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets, spacing a couple of inches apart. Bake for about 9 minutes, or until edges look done and centers are puffy. Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before removing with a spatula and placing on a cooling rack.
Filling:
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup heavy cream
3 cups powdered sugar
8 fun size (or about 2 regular size) Butterfinger candy bars, chopped finely
In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter, peanut butter, vanilla and cream until smooth. Slowly add powdered sugar and beat on low until just combined. Increase speed to high and beat for about 2 minutes. Fold in crushed candy bars.
Spread filling on the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie and gently press down to stick.
Eat lots of them and only share with nice people.
Peanut butter + Butterfingers + Chocolate Cookies = Always a good thing. In case you were wondering.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day. Stay safe!
Thanks for visiting my blog! I realize you could be doing more important things with your time. Like watching the news or washing socks. I hope you stay awhile. Much more fun than socks, I promise.

You said “whilst” That’s a good one.
I think you should have a badge for Hurt People Prevention Person. To like, make it official.
Best cookies ever. Butterfinger rules the world.
Whilst is a smart person word. Also, it sounds like you are whistling while you are talking which is cool. It’s like talking with music!!
Oh yum, I will take as many of these as you have left!
I’m so with you…I am NOT a “do scary things” person. Luckily, neither are my boys. When kiddo went to Mother’s Day Out, the teacher FORCED him to go down the slide one day. She just couldn’t take it that he was so cautious. And Mr. E is known as “Mr. Safety” at one of the work sites he visits. Yeah, we’re a barrel of laughs over here.
PS….my boys are going to LOVE these cookies! Oh my gosh….they look incredible!
Be safe and eat a butterfinger. That should be an ad campaign or something. Go ahead and pitch it to them. I don’t mind.
Is there any way you can switch the cool whip out with something else? I want to make these but my parents pretty much forbade the use of cool whip because it’s got some nasty chemical in it or something. Can you just use whipped cream?
I don’t think whipped cream would work, but you could give it a whirl. But I eat lots of chemicals, so it’s possible that my brain has been compromised and I’m totally wrong. Good luck and let me know if you give it a try!!
I just love ur post and what u post on facebook keep up the good work god bless
I am with you, sister. I am a constant giver of warnings and “be careful”s and protective winces which make things that were totally almost going to happen stop happening. It is a gift. Keep up the good work.
P.S. I love me some Butterfingers. These need to happen here soon, cause I am totally nursing which means I can eat whatever I want for a while, right?
I had to pin these. I am a pinterest addict. I also might become a butterfinger blizzard cookie addict once I make these. Great looking recipe!
BEST IDEA ever…I am not into near death experiences either. SO yes, I just cookie-load {similar to carb loading} I hear Vampires don’t like cookie heavy blood anyhow…
i dont get it. your recipes arent on the weight-watchers approved list ANYWHERE! i’ll keep looking though–there MUST be a mistake. ;)
But what if someone chokes while eating a cookie?? :)
they look, sound delish!!! Will make them this weekend and share with my in laws.
awww…. You called them Blizzard cookies and I thought they were ice cream sandwiches. Note to self: make butterfinger blizzard ice cream sandwiches.
thank you!!!! i am SO with you on not doing scary things and preventing my boys and husband from doing them. THANK YOU for recognizing this title!!!!!!!!
you shut your dirty mouth RIGHT NOW! these are crazy nutters!
love your site name. i too have way too many cookbooks! this looks delish too.
That filling would never make it onto the cookies, I’d just eat it all with a spoon!
These are uber cray cray- so you are Kristan but in the best way possible! Anyone watch Whitney?? No?? You should..it was funny… : )
Ooh this sounds great!!!!
No freakin way!! Butterfinger is my favorite Blizzard. I can’t wait to make these cookies. And them eat them all before anyone finds out I baked them. :D
oh my…i was just thinking of sandwich ice cream yesterday and here is a similar great recipe waiting for me. =) looks scrumptious and will definitely add this to my ‘to try’ list!
Hehe. I wish I was at your house stuffing my face with cookies!
Did you seriously just make whoopie pies using a box of brownie mix and a tub of cool whip? You are my HERO. Also, this is very dangerous information for me to have.
These sound so awesome! I made some Butterfinger Caramel cupcakes a while back, and they were a big hit; I’ve made them a few times and brought them in to work. I bet if I make these, they’d be the next “most requested” item!
These are whoopie pies! Yummy!
Ok if you keep up with all these amazing desserts, my kids are going to give away my mommy of the year award to you.
Great blog post as always.
Hi. I just love reading your blogs so funny. just joined and would love to know what cool whip is :( xx
You make a very good point, and very good cookies! :)
Cool whip in the cookies? I have got to try these!!
These sound wicked yummy. Can’t wait to spoon that filling into my mouth!
Amazing recipe. They sound like the perfect addition to a cup of coffee, or just to make our day sweeter:)
i love your blog…so funny! however i tried these last night…no success! the cookies would not come of the cookies sheets and were way to thin! i tried with a silpat and without :( however i now have a lot of mini butterfingers in the house!!
Oh no!! Did you refrigerate the batter? Mine didn’t have any problems, I’m so sorry to hear that yours didn’t work out.
I just read the title to the hubby. He said “make those.” Better do what the man says.
Gotta tell you; you should take your act on the road. You are adorable, funny and a darn good baker. I love seeing your blog listed on my email list because your humor just makes my day.
The daring sense of adventure pretty much left me once I moved from crawling to walking and I don’t feel right if I don’t say *be careful* to anyone who as much as breaks out in a run! No caution warning needed to tackle these butterfinger blizzard cookies however.
Butterfingers are my absolute favorite candy bar!! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
I love your True Blood references. :)
You are so funny! I enjoy so much your post because I always laugh out loud. My dogs probably think something is wrong with me because I am sitting here waiting on hubby to get off work and they are the only ones at home and I am laughing. I love watching true blood as well (never watched before and started and now I’m still on season 2 episode like 3 or something!!!) I watch it at night when hubby is sleeping on my ipad. HBO to go rocks!! Well enjoy your recipes and really enjoy your post.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Deb
let me tell ya, you are spot on…..being a doc like person is not all it is cracked up to be….I would rather stay home and bake cookies. These look really good. I love butterfinger….reminds me of Bart Simpson when he did the commercial..Nobody better lay a finger on my butterfinger! That sums it up w/ these!
My husband must have attended the same school for Hurt People Prevention Person. Our children will be running on the grass towards the playground and he’ll holler for them to stop running.
I like True Blood and I will have to practice the glamor technique then try it out on my husband. I have a strong feeling that it isn’t going to work here either!
Butterfingers are the best!
I admire your job of HPPP. I completely agree that it is wayyy better than a doctor, because prevention is always the best way!! Keep up the good work!
I’m with you – crazy adrenaline rushes are highly over-rated…although I find that zip-lining is GREAT fun!
Your posts always make me laugh! I hate doing scary things too!
These look so yummy, I know my boyfriend would absolutely love these. He is obsessed with butterfingers! I can’t wait to make these later! Thanks for another great recipe :)
have a cople of questions…. how many do you get out of this receipe and when you put the dough on a cookie sheet would it be ok to use parchment paper..i am horrible at baking cookies they are usually overcooked, so wish me luck
Parchment paper is definitely a good idea. And it should make about 20, depending on the size :)
I believe this is now my favorite site
i think I need some of these and good chick flick this weekend!
It’s official I’m in love.
I think I just got diabetes.
I think we are soul mates! Thank you for putting into words the things I have always known about my job as protector of the universe. I love it!!!
So I just discovered your blog yesterday while searching for some good St. Patty recipes to try….I have to say I love the simplicity in every one, but on top of having fabulous cupcakes, you have got to be THE funniest person! I truly am thankful for your inspiring recipes and more so your uplifting personality. Thanks and keep it up :)
Oh yes, the batter is in the fridge and the coworker who LOVES Butterfingers will be bowing at my feet tomorrow. Fingers crossed I don’t totally screw it up, will let you know! :)
:( the filling was good! I had to do a quick graham cracker pie crust to save this dessert, I had the same problem as Erin A., they didn’t rise and it was refrigerated for 2 hours prior. Oh well, you win some you lose some!
These are stellar. Favorite recipe from your blog so far. The cookies are nice and soft and that filling? WOW. I made these for the first time shortly after you posted this recipe…I think they need to make another appearance in my kitchen :) (For me to repeat a recipe is nothing short of amazing…I’m always trying new ones and run out of time for the ones I’ve already tried. This one deserves repeating though!)
