I’m in love with these Butterscotch Toffee Cookies! If you love chewy cookies, I’m pretty sure you’ll love these too!
First, I apologize at how ugly these cookies may appear. Thin. Brown. Boring.
But, OMG please do not let their appearance be your guide. These cookies may be one of the best cookies I’ve ever made. Yeah. Really.
Although, to be fair, I have a deep love for butterscotch morsels. And toffee bits. So there’s that.
Did I mention these are giant too? I used my 2 Tbsp scoop, and because the brown sugar and toffee caramelize together in this cookie they spread. Even after refrigerating the dough for an hour. Don’t be alarmed (be prepared!). Space these cookies out at least 3 inches apart. And don’t overcook them either. Mine took about 12-14 minutes, I let them cool completely on the pan before moving to wire rack.
And did I tell you yet to use parchment paper? Seriously a must with these cookies.
All these rules, are you afraid? Please don’t be! Just trust me when I tell you how wonderful these taste. The sweet butterscotch, the chewy toffee, these cookies ruined my healthy eating last week. But, they were the perfect treat to pack in my kid’s lunches on their first day back to school!! (I may have been more excited than they were about that!).
As I do with most of my cookie baking, you can drop your cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for an hour. Then package up those cookie dough balls and store in a freezer safe bag until you are ready to bake some fresh, chewy cookies! At any given time there may be dozens of cookie dough balls in my freezer just waiting to be baked up fresh!
So who’s coming over for fresh cookies?

Made these this morning and knew I did not have time to refrigerate the dough…so, used 1/2 cup white sugar instead of all brown sugar (I thought the brown sugar contributed to spreading and that is what I was afraid of)…reduced oven temp to 350 degrees…turned out perfectly with no chill time. I made some regular sized cookies and some jumbo! Very tasty cookie that I think my co-workers are going to love.
I have no idea why this happens (chemistry wasn’t my best subject!), but any cookie I try to bake comes out puffy, sometimes cake like. I prefer the flatter, chewier cookies, and it eludes me. Any suggestions? Thank you. (My oven runs hot, so I have to adjust the heat down 25 degrees…not sure that might play a part.)
Mmmm. Delicious cookies. I want.
Cookie dough in the freezer is a must. Who doesn’t want access to warm cookies. I think these look great. I love the butterscotch and toffee combination.
What a delicious cookie! Even better their jumbo! YUM 🙂
When it comes to cookies, bigger is better!
What an awesome flavor combination!!
Amy, these are the cookies of my dreams! Seriously, I love everything butterscotch (the morsels are addicting), caramel, toffee and anything Butterfinger-ish. Thank you for sharing and have a great rest of the week!
Butterfingers are truly one of my favorite candy bars!!! Glad you like these, hope you are doing well my friend 🙂
These are EXACTLY my kind of cookies!!!!!
yay, so glad you like them 🙂 Now you need to go bake some!
I want to reach through the screen and grab three!
Yum! Chewy cookies are the WAY to go… and the butterscotch AND toffee sound absolutely amazing. They are so pretty! They’d look even better in my stomach 🙂
The cookies don’t look ugly at all! All I need is a baker’s dozen and a glass of milk!
Sounds perfect to me 🙂
I don’t think these are ‘ugly’ at all but even then, rustic looking foods often taste the best! I am loving seeing cookies and these sound very flavorful with an awesome texture. We are big fans of chewy cookies in this house!
Are you kidding!? These look fantastic! I’m in love with toffee too, and love putting it in cookies. And yes, the parchment is a must 🙂
This looks so good, I can almost smell these cookies through the screen! Pinned.
Thank you for pinning 🙂
