Oatmeal Toffee Cookies fall into the category of the perfect cookie. Crisp on the edges and chewy in the middle.
When my kids were all at home I was one of those cookie making moms. They would often come home to a fresh baked batch of cookies. Whenever they had friends over there was always a batch of cookies to snack on. I told them I did it for them but really, I LOVE a fresh baked cookie and I enoyed it as much as they did. It was the perfect way to indulge my love of a fresh baked cookie.
Now that my kids aren’t at home anymore I don’t have the excuse of baking for them and their friends anymore. Good thing I have neighbor kids who I can use as an excuse. But really, do you need an excuse to enjoy a warm, fresh baked cookie?
Ingredients
These cookies are perfect for the person who, heaven forbid, doesn’t like too much chocolate in their cookies.
- Toffee Bits. You can use the ones covered in chocolate if you want a bit of chocolate in your cookies.
- Oatmeal. The recipe calls for old fashioned oatmeal which will give you a chewier cookie, you can use quick oats if you prefer, the cookie just won’t be as chewy.
- Brown Sugar. The recipe uses only brown sugar which adds to the chewiness and give the cookie great flavor.
- Butter. Always butter.
- Flour. I use unbleached all purpose flour.
- Baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Cinnamon. This is optional but I love the flavor it gives the cookies.
If you prefer a little more chocolate add in some chocolate chips too.
My friend Meg was over the day I made these cookies and she followed me around the kitchen and took some lovely photos – it was so much fun. I almost felt famous!

I only have quick oatmeal will that work.
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
THey just won’t be quite as chewy but it will work.
Mac says
I am a bit confused and need clarification on the yield. At the top of the recipe it shows 24 cookies but at the end of the recipe the comment is “Makes about 5 dozen”
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
I apologize for the confusion. It will vary considerably depending on the size of cookie that you make. If you use a tablespoon size scoop, you should get about 3 dozen cookies.
Jennifer says
Can you tell me if you think some of the oats could be left out and sub’d with rice krispies? Thank you!
Leigh Anne says
Should work fine
Dee Williams says
I just stumbled onto this recipe, stunned that someone else puts Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits in her oatmeal cookies. I’ve been doing this for about as long as these delicious add-ins have been around and people rave over them. Except for my kids. I can’t believe not even one of the four grew up loving toffee the way I do! My cookie recipe is very different from yours, but judging from the pictures, they taste about the same – crispy outside, soft and chewing inside.
It doesn’t appear that many people have tried the recipe yet, but just in case someone else stumbles upon it, I wanted to encourage all toffee lovers out there to make these cookies!
Leigh Anne says
Dee, We love toffee in cookies or just about anything at our house. Glad you do too!
