I don’t usually make cookies in the summer, especially on hot days, but I couldn’t resist these Toffee Cookies! My best friend and I decided to make them for our families for dessert last weekend and they were amazing!
These Toffee Cookies have a crunchy, yet not sticky bottom, so nothing gets stuck in your teeth. They are a good balance between the toffee flavor and a cookie texture.
What Ingredients Will I Need?
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla
- Flour
- Milk Chocolate Chips
- Walnuts
Helpful Tips for Making Toffee Cookies
- Cut into bars while still warm.
- To make the chocolate chips melt faster, make a “tent” (about an inch high) with aluminum foil after sprinkling chocolate chips on top. Let sit for 5 minutes and then spread chocolate chips.
- Use a wire whisk to sift the flour if you don’t have a flour sifter.
Variations
- Use pecans instead of walnuts.
- Use semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of milk chocolate chips.
- Dark chocolate chips can also be used instead of milk chocolate chips.

Final Thoughts on Toffee Cookies
These cookies were easy to make and delicious to eat. I liked that I didn’t have to worry about getting toffee stuck in my teeth while eating them. They tasted like toffee but were much softer. I will probably make these again at holiday time. Toffee Cookies would be perfect on a cookie tray!

I like that these were softer than toffee. I don’t typically eat toffee because I find it difficult to eat but I like that these are softer. They sound lovely!
Thank you so much, Jenny! I have that problem with regular toffee too! 🙂
These look so good! It’s great that they don’t get stuck in your teeth, always annoying when you eat toffee x

I think these might be my husbands new favorite cookie. Made these last weekend and they were amazing.
I’m so glad your husband enjoyed them!
Tried this at our family gathering, and I’m glad they loved it! Toffee cookies are now one of my go-to treats recipe.
That is so great to hear!
These are delish! I was worried they’d be too sweet but they were just right and are divine with a cup of coffee!
I’m glad you liked them!
You had me at toffee! So delicious to put it in a cookie. I will definitely be adding these to my Christmas cookie lineup.
These would be great on a holiday plate!
I can never say no to a cookie and I’m pretty sure I needed about four of these to satisfy my cravings after seeing them online. They’re AMAZING.
I’m so happy you liked them!
These were amazing! I brought these to a party and everyone devoured them! I love that they’re crunchy yet don’t stick to teeth. These are going on my cookie tray around the holidays.
That is so great to hear! 🙂
Nice Post. Thanks for sharing this wonderful article.
Thank you for the compliment.
I Haven’t made these yet but know just by looking at the ingredients they will be wonderful. What I wanted to know Heidi is how do I store them once they are baked. Do they keep better in a tin in the refrigerator or can I leave them out in a tin and if so for how long.
Thanks,
Lynn
Hi Lynn,
Thank you for asking. They keep best at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Place parchment paper or wax paper between layers if stacking. A piece of bread will help keep moisture out. If storing for longer, they can be frozen for up to three months in a freezer-safe container. I hope that helps! Let me know how they turn out. 🙂
Best,
Heidi (aka Lulu)
One of my favorite things my mom used to make when I was younger…they are so good
How fun! Yes, they are quite yummy! 🙂
How do you prevent the cookies from sticking to the sheet pan?
Hi Hannah,
Great question! This recipe has a full cup of butter, so as it bakes, the butter melts and naturally greases the pan. Just be sure to cut them while they’re still warm. If you prefer, parchment paper works great too. 😊
Best,
Heidi (aka Lulu)
Thank you! So helpful. If you cut them while they’re still warm – does the chocolate get smudged/ messy? Do they cookie break easily?
Hi Hannah,
The chocolate will be soft, but it’s not a mess; just use a sharp knife. The bars hold together fine when warm and firm up as they cool. 🙂
Best,
Heidi (aka Lulu)
