Butter Toffee Cookies … simple, rich and buttery. Possibly the perfect cookie! These toffee cookies are the easiest melt-in-your-mouth dessert you’ve ever seen. Just wait until you try this butter cookie!
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.
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.
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.
The dough comes together in a pinch.
AND if you’re feeling crazy sprinkle your dough with some flaked sea salt. I mean RIGHT?
They will bake up all gorgeous-like. And you will swoon.
And then you will eat…and maybe share 🙂

If you like these cookies, make sure to check out my Butter Crunch Cookies too! They are similar, but made with HOMEMADE toffee!!
Made this today with all purpose gluten free flour and home made toffee chips. I also substituted molases and sugar instead of brown sugar. They are amazing!!! They taste kind of like the gluten free toffee cookies from trader Joe’s. Sooooooo good!
So glad you loved them!!!
I made these on Sunday. They were devoured by the neighborhood! Excellent recipe!
I made these this week – the only difference was I didn’t quite have enough toffee chips so I made the difference up with cinnamon chips. Really good! I’m going to get a bag of toffee chips and make it the right way though!!
So chewy and buttery! Yum! I think toffee should be eaten year round!
Made these this morning. The batter looks so dry. Are the only wet ingredients vanilla and the eggs? Looks like it needs to be wetter. They weren’t a thin cookie like your photo, just trying to figure out what the difference is, they taste wonderful!
They look amazingly good. Just look at the color.. mouthwatering
Hi, where is the recipe for homemade toffee? I can’t stand the words supper or freshly. Weird, huh?
This is a link to her recipe for homemade toffee. If I understood her correctly you would need to make 1.5 recipes to replace the bag of bits.

OMG!!! Yay me!!! Two exceptional recipes without chocolate. I’m ecstatic!!! 😀
You left adding the vanilla out of the instructions.
Sorry about that! All fixed 🙂
How many recipes of your homemade toffee would equal an 8-ounce bag of bits?
About a cup and a half 🙂
