Ingredients for Toffee Cookies

  • Salted butter – I use salted butter, If you only have unsalted butter, then you’ll want to add an extra pinch or two of salt to the cookie dough.
  • Brown sugar – This adds a delicious chewiness and flavor to these cookies. 
  • Granulated sugar
  • Egg
  • Vanilla
  • All purpose flour
  • Rolled oats – The rolled oats are not the star of the show, but trust me here. They give this cookie such a comforting ‘homie’ feel.
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Toffee bits – I use the toffee bits that can be found by the chocolate chips with the chocolate on them. If you cannot find these, you can crush some heath toffee bars and that will work just as well.

How to Make this Toffee Cookie Recipe

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and prep a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or a silicon baking mat. 
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until smooth, light in color and fluffy. This will take a few minutes.
  3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in the egg and add vanilla.
  4. Once completely combined, stop the mixer and add in the flour, rolled oats, baking soda and salt.
  5. Once the dry ingredients are almost mixed together, add in the toffee bits. Mix until completely incorporated.
  6. Portion out the dough into 3 tbsp portions (#24 scoop). 
  7. Arrange your dough balls on your prepared cookie sheet.
  8. Bake at 350° for 11-13 minutes, or until the cookie dough has spread and the edges are turning golden brown.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes and then serve warm.

Can I prepare this dough in advance and bake it later?

Yes, you absolutely can. You can choose to either store the dough in the fridge or the freezer until you are ready to use it.  

Fridge: I would recommend scooping the dough into balls and then storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Once you are ready to bake, arrange the dough on a cookie sheet and let them come to room temperature while preheating your oven. Then bake like normal! 

Freezer: Scoop the dough into balls and freeze in a labeled resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months. When you are ready to bake, pull the dough out and arrange on a baking sheet. Let the cookies thaw while the oven is coming up to temperature and then bake. If you’d like more tips on how to freeze cookie dough and bake, check out this post!

What’s the best way to store baked toffee cookies?

After you’ve baked your cookies, you can store them in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days. If you want to extend the life of your cookies, you can also freeze them in a labeled resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months. Then just thaw and eat as desired!
