Toffee Cookies

These cookies are the best of both worlds especially if you are a toffee lover and love classic chewy chocolate chip cookies! Not only are these cookies buttery, chewy, soft and moist- they are made in one bowl to make it super easy. Every bite is packed with bites of crunchy toffee and chocolate chips with crispy edges.

Be sure to add these Toffee Cookies to your baking list this year! You can even make these and leave them out for Santa on a baking tray with a glass of milk.

Each bite is true perfection. The toffee bits melt slightly when baking giving these cookies a caramel nutty flavor. 

This recipe is basically fool-proof. The cookies are made in one-bowl and call for only 7 ingredients. Make these with your kids if they love to bake! They will love it and so will you 😉

These Toffee Cookies requires 4 simple steps: making the dough, chilling, scooping and baking the cookies.

You can bake these cookies in less than an hour so you don’t have to worry about spending too much time in the kitchen. Also, these cookies are exceptional all year-round not just the holidays.

INGREDIENTS

• Butter: I use unsalted butter, melted, and cooled butter. The butter helps make an extra chewy center and buttery flavor.
• Brown sugar: I only use brown sugar in in this recipe as opposed to granulated and this gives the cookies more moisture
• Large Eggs: You’ll need a egg and an egg yolk. The extra yolk makes the cookies extra rich and velvety in texture 
• Vanilla extract: adds additional flavor and enhances all the other flavors in this recipe 
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda: makes these cookies soft and fluffy 
• Salt
• Toffee pieces: You can chop up your favorite toffee such as Heath Bars or homemade toffee. I use a whole bag of Heath Bar pieces in this recipe so each bite is packed with toffee bits
• Chocolate chips: I love using the mini chocolate chips so the chips are about the same size as the toffee. This will addd a chocolate flavor.

HOW TO MAKE TOFFEE COOKIES

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat mats and set aside.
2. In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, stir (or you can use a hand mixer or electric mixer) together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
4. Add flour, baking soda and salt until a cookie dough starts to form and then add in the toffee bits and chocolate chips. Stir together until all of the toffee bits and chocolate chips are completely combined evenly in the dough.
5. Chill the dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes so the butter can firm up.
6. Using a mini ice cream scoop or cookie scoop (this will help make the cookies stay in a perfect circle shape), or 2 tablespoons, scoop cookie dough 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes (the baking time may vary with each oven) and then transfer to a cooling wire rack once cooled. Enjoy!

These Toffee Cookies Are

• The ultimate Holiday cookie to make this year! These will be a huge hit any where you bring them and they will quickly disappear.

Leftovers & Storage

To-store: These chewy cookies will last up to 5-7 days in an airtight container or on a plate tightly covered in plastic wrap. I love warm cookies so I always recommend preheating in the microwave for a few seconds.

To-freeze: You can freeze pre-shaped cookie dough balls. Roll out your cookie dough balls and flash fresh by placing the dough balls on a cookie sheet or plate and freeze for 30 minutes. Once the dough balls have hardened you can transfer them to a large freezer bag and store for 3 months. 

Pro Tips

• I love using mini chocolate chips in this recipe because they are similar in size to the toffee bits. Making all of the bit pieces relatively the same size.
• Top each cookie with a pinch of sea salt before baking if you really want to intensify all the flavors.
• I alway, always, always prefer warm cookies and the best way to enjoy these is straight out of the oven and, or with vanilla ice cream. These make the best cookie sundaes or cookie ice cream sandwiches.
• Use Brown Butter to make Brown Butter Toffee Cookies! They will give these cookies even more of a buttery flavor. Learn how to make browned butter in this recipe.
