    I love to take a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe and vary the flavor and texture with different mix-ins. The result is almost always a fun, elevated version of a classic.

    For these toffee chocolate chip cookies, simply adding toffee bits really enhances the flavor and adds a wonderful crunch to an already delicious cookie.

    Why This Recipe Works

    close up texture of the chocolate chip cookies with toffee bits

    Soft and chewy centered cookies are loaded with sweet chocolate chips and crunchy toffee bits then baked to a golden perfection with a delightful crisp edge.

    • The cookies have plenty of crunch with perfectly crisp edges
    • The toffee bits add a delicious sweetness
    • Any variation on a chocolate chip cookie is always welcome!

    Ingredients

    ingredients needed to bake the cookies
    • Granulated sugar and brown sugar: These are two common cookie ingredients. The correct ratio is important to give the cookies a crisp edge (white sugar) while maintaining a chewy center (brown sugar).
    • Shortening produces a softer and lighter cookie.
    • Chocolate chips: I like to use semi-sweet, but you can use milk or dark chocolate.
    • Toffee bits: I used Heath bar baking bits, but any toffee bits will work.

    The recipe is rounded out with all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, butter and vanilla, plus one whole egg and 2 yolks.

    Substitutions

    • Melted butter may be used in place of shortening.
    • You can use semi-sweet, milk or dark chocolate chips.
    • Feel free to add some chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts would work well) for extra crunch and flavor!
    • Top with sea salt for a take on salted caramel.

    Instructions

    2. Mix until just incorporated.
    3. Spoon six 3-tablespoon sized cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten the dough balls into discs.
    4. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and top with more toffee bits and chocolate chips. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool.

    Storage

    Cookies may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or baggie for up to 4 days, or in the fridge for up to 1 week. They also freeze well!

    Notes

    Be careful not to over mix the dough once the flour is added. It can cause the gluten to overdevelop and result in crumbly cookies.
