This Frosted Candy Bar Sugar Cookie is a fun way to enjoy your favorite candy bar and cookie in one!
Some of our other favorite sugar cookies include this Angel Sugar Cookies. Lemon Sugar cookies are a fun flavor twist along with these Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies.
Next to a chocolate chip cookie, a frosted sugar cookie is my favorite. A sugar cookie must have frosting, it’s required at our house. Today’s recipe for a frosted candy bar sugar cookie meets all my requirements for a good sugar cookie. It’s crispy on the edges but chewy in the middle and it has frosting.
This sugar cookie gets even better, it uses a crunchy peanut butter candy bar (aka Butterfingers) too. The candy bar is in the sugar cookie itself and then sprinkled on top of the frosting. Butterfingers are a favorite at our house but a Heath bar would be pretty yummy too. You want the candy bar to have a little crunch to it.
My cookie cravings usually lean towards chocolate chip but sometimes nothing will quite do but a good frosted sugar cookie. There is a deli that is about an hour from my home that sells my favorite sugar cookie. I made my own copycat version here. The deli is on the way to my mother’s house, and I love to time it so I can make a stop at the deli and pick up my favorite frosted sugar cookie when I go up to see my mom.
This frosted candy bar version is definitely a new favorite at our house and I can’t wait to try the recipe with some of our other favorite candy bars.
