Hi friends!
I realized this year that I’ve been severely lacking in the Christmas Cookie offering department. Every year I bake cookies around the holidays but it’s been a while since I shared a new recipe with you guys.
I was searching back through the archives and came across these gems. I originally shared them as part of a blog cookie swap that I did with a few friends, but they’d be the perfect addition to any holiday dessert tray! The original recipe I posted was a little bit over the top on the butter and sugar. I’m all for enjoying a real cookie, but there were definitely a few swaps that could be made to the original recipe.
Since I needed to take some new photos anyways, I tweaked the recipe a little bit and they turned out just as great as I remember. Here’s the thing about toffee- I love it. But the only time I seem to think to use it is during holiday baking. Why is that??
I guess what I’m saying is, these cookies would be great year round….but for me, there’s just something about them that screams Christmas cookie.
Here’s how you make them:

Lovely! Your cookies turned out beautifully! Toffee is one of my great weaknesses. If I could eat a Health Blizzard from DQ everyday and maintain my current pant size, I totally would. 😉
blizzards are my weakness 🙂
could you have added anything more amazing to these cookies? I don’t even think so! everything delicious in one cookie! great job!
that’s the great thing about cookies….you can throw in as much good stuff as you want 🙂
Those cookies look fantastic!

These look fabulous. They remind me of Monster cookies… but with toffee.
i think toffee needs to be included in monster cookies. SO GOOD
Yum! 🙂 Those cookies just look divine!

I’ve been craving cookies so hard the last few days. I hope to make some this weekend – if time permits.

yay! hope he loves them 🙂
I’ll be santa if you leave some of these out for me 🙂
deal….but only if you bring me some sweet presents!
These look so good! there is nothing like a delicious chocolate chip cookie 🙂 and then when you add toffee bits, yum!
toffee makes everything better. i think it’s cuz it rhymes with coffee!
I have a bunch of toffee I need to use and these look like prime candidates! If I ship you the toffee, will you ship me the cookies? 😉
girlfriend that is SO a deal. I’ll start checking my mailbox regularly 🙂
Yum! I’ve been looking for some new cookie recipes and these look awesome! 🙂
this is a good one 🙂
my three loves all rolled into one cookie! drool.
mine too!!!! that’s why i couldn’t stop eating them!
My boyfriend and I LOVE these cookiea! They are so good! I’m curious as to how I would make them still taste that delicious yet make them thicker. Whenever I bake them they turn out really flat.
hmmmm are you more melting the butter instead of just softening it? in my experience that using melted butter has made my cookies flatter?
Lindsay. I can’t. I can’t even! This cookie recipe! The name itself totally hooked me. YUM!
