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 🙂

Can this dough be made in advance and then frozen to bake when needed?
Yes!
Thank you!
I plan on making this recipe into a cookie cake! Any tips or anything I should be aware of?
Any advice in a frosting that would go well with this? T.I.A
It should work as a cookie cake! And the cookie is pretty sweet, but for a little decorative frosting you could use a simple buttercream, a caramel frosting, or even a brown butter frosting would be great!
how far in advance can you make these? i want to makes these for mothers day!
They will be fine up to 3 days before, but of course I think fresher is better!
Added coconut and almond extract. Delicious!
Great idea!!
This is the best cookie recipe I have ever used! I find myself craving them all the time now. If anyone is debating making these, DO IT!!! I followed the recipe exactly and they were perfect.
Oh thank you!! I love hearing this!
2 1/4 all purpose flour = assuming you mean cups. 2 1/4 cups AP flour??
Yes, 2 1/4 cups 🙂
These are crack omg! I reduce the butter to 10 tbsps, 5/8 cup of butter. I dont like greasy cookies i always reduce the butter. Is there a way to not have greasy fingers? I have been trying to reduce the butter to avoid greasy fingers when eating cookies, but still end up with greasy fingers. I will be doing a few modifications: like using unsalted butter, it was a little salty, but good, the tsp of salt will stay.
Also will do 3/4 of brown sugar and white sugar. The cookies spread a little too much. Ill also use a small cookie scooper. Ill do the modifications and let you know how it went.
This recipe is a keeper. This recipe is a good alternative when you want a good cookie besides chocolate chip cookies. I dont eat chocolate all the time. Like half the time.
I like u lulu ur my kinda people
Maybe try chilling the cookie dough for a few hours. I always chill my dough overnight and set on the counter for about 15 or so minutes until it’s scoopable. I also use unsalted butter.
Oh my gosh…these are perfect! So buttery and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
Recipe is amazing even found the toffee bits on amazon. Not sure if because im baking the cookies in small oven some burned so quickly in first batch. I lowered my oven too 300 degrees and cooked the cookies for 13 minutes and they came out perfect.
Your oven is probably running hot. Get yourself an oven thermometer. I always have one hanging in my oven.
I just made these, and I love how thin and chewy they turned out. Thanks!
These are AWESOME! I’ve literally never left a comment on a recipe before but these are worth it. I used my homemade English toffee to make these and they came out great! I’m at altitude so I was nervous but they’re perfectly crispy outside and soft and chewy inside. I halved the recipe and ended up just using one whole egg. Amazing!
So so glad you enjoyed these! Homemade English Toffee sounds amazing!!
Here’s the recipe I used for the toffee: https://www.food.com/recipe/english-toffee-33357
