Yesterday I shared my kitchen with you over at iLashGirls. The beautiful pictures of my kitchen were taken by my friend Meg of Megan Daines Photography.
The day she took the photos I made a batch of Oatmeal Toffee Crisps and she followed me around the kitchen – it was so much fun. I almost felt famous!
One of my favorite flavor combinations is chocolate and toffee.
Remember those Chocolate Chip and Toffee Scones - yum!
Chocolate chips and toffee bits are wonderful in cookies too! This cookie is a thin cookie that is crisp around the edges but slightly chewy in the middle – another perfect combination! I found the recipe for the Oatmeal Toffee Crisps over at Kara’s Kitchen Creations
Enjoy this fun pictorial as well as the cookies!
Ready for the oven….
Cookies anyone?
And then we had fun being food stylists!
and I love this picture Meg took of me in my window seat – wrinkles and all!!
Thanks Meg for the fun pictures!
Now here’s the recipe!!
Oatmeal Toffee Crisps
1 C soft butter or margarine
2 C brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3 C oats
1 pkg Heath Bits O’Brickle Toffee Bits (about 1 1/2 cups) I used Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits
1 cup coconut (optional) I did not put the coconut in
Cream butter and sugar, beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients, oats, toffee, and coconut. Drop by rounded spoonfuls on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 for about 8 minutes. Let sit on cookie sheets for 3-4 minutes before removing to cooling racks.
-Makes about 5 dozen
Notes:
-Make sure you let the cookies sit on the cookie sheets for a few minutes or they will fall apart when you transfer them to the cooling rack.
I was wondering what you were making in the photos from yesterday…they sound so good. I will certainly give them a try! Have a great day. PS – I love your kitchen too:)
I was wondering where you purchased the plates to serve your cookies on and the bowl that your fruit is in. I loved them!

Some of my favorite places to find dishware and serving pieces are Home Goods, Ross and TJ Maxx! I love handpainted ceramics and pottery and pick up pieces here and there. I’ve also found some great pieces at Target.
Thanks, dear Leigh Anne for sharing so much with us. Another yummy recipe to try.
Hi Leigh Anne,
Thanks so much for featuring my cookies! I’m glad you liked them.
I love the photo of you by the window, it’s just beautiful. Those aren’t wrinkles, they’re just smile lines!!
Leigh Anne – the cookies look fantastic and your kitchen is lovely, but I love the picture of you by the window the most. You are so pretty! You should feel famous – I think you are and you deserve all the attention!

You are beautiful and the cookies look great!!
Thanks so much for sharing! I enjoyed seeing all the cookware and bakeware that you utilize for your delicious creations. And you should feel famous! I think that fame, which comes in the form of tons of loyal blog followers, is perfectly appropriate!
These look amazing. I will definitely be making these. Thanks for the recipe!
These look yummy, I can’t wait to try them out!
Leigh Anne,
Will you please share how you get your granite so shiny? Mine looks really dull.
Thanks for another great recipe!
Leigh Anne,
The pork roast & cookies look absolutely yummy!!! Your pictures are fantastic and so is your beautiful kitchen! I love your countertops and have a question about them. I’m saving to replace my countertops and read recently that the shiny dark granite is hard to keep looking clean and makes crumbs very noticeable. I would have thought the opposite but I’m wondering what your experience has been?
Blessings!
Karen

I love my dark granite but yes I think it probably is a little harder to keep clean. If you have it sealed well though it helps and a good cleaner will keep a nice shine on it.
GORGEOUS pictures!!
