Simple Toffee Bit Cookie Recipe

I am kinda-sorta obsessed with these cookies. They are ridiculously simple to make, while being completely packed with buttery goodness. And gasp! there is nary a chocolate chip to be found.

The not-so-secret-ingredient is the Toffee Bits. Not the ones with chocolate on them, like Heath Bars, but the plain-jane Toffee Bits, sometimes referred to as “Bits o’ Brickle”. Also, let it be known I do NOT like the name Bits o’ Brickle. It’s one of those words or phrases that just annoy me…like the word scrumptious…or whimsical. Ugh, I hate myself for typing those out.

Anyhow, if you like delicious things, get in your kitchen ASAP and get these in the oven.

Butter Toffee Cookies ... simple, rich and buttery. Possibly the perfect cookie!

Soft Butter Cookies Are Easy to Make!

Like I said they are simple…simple to make, simple looking, simple flavors…but oh my yes, they are sneaky. So sneaky, in fact, that when you are reaching for your 4th cookie in 10 minutes you’ll feel duped. Like WHAT? How did that happen?

The answer is toffee bits. For real.

Toffee Chips!

I am a weirdo and buy these in bulk around the holidays when they seem to be everywhere… I mean like who decided DELICIOUS TOFFEE was only to be consumed in November and December?

If you are not a weirdo like me, I am sure you can find them at a store near you OR certainly online.

How to Make Butter Toffee Cookies:

  1. would highly recommend this recipe. I used 1/2 cup sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and just used 2 eggs, didn’t separate the yolk. Turned out so good!!






  2. These are just wonderful. I baked them for a cookie swap. So easy and they turned out great. You cannot help yourself you will eat more than one.
