Soft and Chewy Toffee Cookies

Loaded with toffee bits, these soft, chewy, and buttery cookies are a toffee lover’s dream. Unlike my Heath Bar Pudding Cookies, these Soft and Chewy Toffee Cookies are made with a Snickerdoodle dough base. The inspiration for these cookies came from when I worked for a caterer a long time ago. I remember the caterer making a cookie like these, and I have been trying to recreate them. I think I have come close to those delicious cookies with this recipe.

Looking for something extra that you get in a Snickerdoodle base versus a chocolate chip cookie base created the cookie I wanted. The only major changes are, of course, adding toffee bits and using all butter, making them a little flatter. That did the trick, and I was back at my job working for the caterer. You will love how the buttery cookie dough complements the toffee flavor. YUM!

If you are a caramel and/or butterscotch lover, these cookies are right up your alley. Give them a try and tell me what you think. I love hearing from my readers.

Serves: 36

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1½ cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1½ tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 (8 ounce) bag of toffee bits

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Lightly grease a cookie sheet or prepare it with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
Add eggs and vanilla. Mix thoroughly.
Next, add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Add the toffee bits and mix until incorporated.
Use a cookie scoop or a teaspoon to scoop out approx. 2-tbsp-size balls of dough. If not using a cookie scoop, roll dough in your hands to make a nice dough ball.
Place them on the prepared cookie sheet two inches apart to allow spreading.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are just slightly browned. Cookies will be shiny and still look a little doughy. Allow them to sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
If you like your cookies more crisp than chewy, bake them for an additional 2 minutes.
Enjoy!
