These toffee chocolate chip cookies are a delicious chocolate chip cookie dressed up with toffee bits. You will love the combination.
I love the combination of toffee and chocolate, especially when it’s warm and gooey. One of my standard kitchen ingredients is a bag of the Toffee Bits. They are the perfect way to dress up a chocolate chip cookie. Give these toffee chocolate chip cookies a try and you may never go back to plain chocolate chip cookies.
In addition to the toffee, these cookies have a fine dusting of sugar. The melted sugar gives it a delicious caramelized flavor while sill allowing for a soft cookie.
How to make Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Mix up your cookie dough in your stand mixer using the paddle attachment. Add the toffee bits in with the chocolate chips.
- The dough is formed into a ball, about golf ball size.
- Dip the bottom of a drinking glass into sugar and flatten the cookie to about 1/4 inch thickness. The addition of the sugar gives the cookie a nice glittery appearance plus a little extra sugar never hurt anyone.
- This recipe uses brown sugar which gives the cookie a bit of a “deeper” flavor than just using white sugar or a combination of white/brown sugar.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then move to a cooling rack.

I made a similar cookie (minus the glass dipped in sugar) and we use both milk and white chocolate whips with the toffee. Yum!
Looks super delish. I would totally go into freak out mode too… you aren’t alone LA! =) Glad you are wise enough to have a good stash of go-to recipes to make all of those young ladies’ mouths happy.
I usually don’t comment until I try something, but I’m so excited because I’m making this tonight! Our daughter in law is having a group of friends over tonight and these will be a perfect thing for me to throw together for them! THANKS!
I’m loving this recipe!!!
Ha ha! I react the same way when someone in the family springs a meeting at the house in a 1/2 hr. or less before it is to happen. Usually it’s my husbands High Priest Group Meeting. I always HAVE to have something for them to eat too.
The cookie recipe looks great!
Glad I’m not the only one that does the freak out dance!!

Leigh Anne Do you bake these cookies at 300 degrees because they take longer to bake than the normal 8-10 minutes. Thanks I am making them tonight for my embroidery class tomorrow.
