You want to look for Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits. If you can’t find them, you can always chop up Heath candy bars.
How To Store Toffee Cookies
- Room Temperature: Once they’re cooked, store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They’re best when enjoyed within 2 days, but they can last a bit longer. Keep in mind, though, they won’t be as perfect past the first couple of days.
- Make Ahead: If you want to make the dough ahead of time, you can cover it and store it in the refrigerator to chill for up to 24 hours.
- Freezer: Want to have pre-made cookie dough balls to bake whenever a craving hits? Freeze them! Chill your dough in the refrigerator, form it into individual cookie dough balls, and then store them in a freezer-safe, airtight container for up to 3 months.
Toffee Cookie Recipe Variations
These cookies are perfect as-is, but there’s always room to get creative! Who knows, you may discover your new favorite obsession. Here are a few suggestions to get you started:
- Add chocolate chips! The toffee bits have chocolate in them but if you want even more chocolatey goodness you can add chips or a chopped chocolate bar.
- For a richer flavor, take a little extra time to brown your butter and then allow it to cool before adding it to your dough. The brown butter will add a layer of toasted, almost molasses-like flavor.
- Add cocoa powder to your dry mixture so the cookie itself is chocolatey with toffee bits dispersed throughout.
- Fold in some walnuts or pecans for a bit of crunch.
Trish’s Toffee Cookie Tips
- Be sure to use toffee bits with chocolate, not just toffee. The chocolate adds more dimension of flavor.
- Use dark brown sugar to emphasize the sweet toffee flavor.
- Make sure your eggs are room temperature before mixing them into your dough.
- You can roughly chop a chocolate toffee bar instead of using toffee bits. This will add variety to every bite.
- Chill the dough before baking (24 hours at most). This process will let the flavors meld together more and make the final product more thick and chewy.
- Top it with sea salt for a salty/sweet addition!
