Salted Toffee Cookies

For this fabulous cookie recipe I use my regular pantry staples and elevate them to another level giving these Salted Toffee Cookies a “fancy with minimal effort” vibe.

Salted Toffee Cookies

This one is for all of my salted toffee lovers out there.

The key to making a chewy toffee cookie is to start with butter and a mix of brown sugar and white granulated sugar. Each play an important role in helping to create a chewy center and crispy, buttery edges.

Brown sugar gives the salted toffee cookie base a great flavor, while the granulated sugar helps with the overall texture.

My favorite season

Baking tools I love

I love a LOT about this particular mixer –  it’s teal color, price point, and size. It is stainless steel and mixes up to 5 dozen cookies in a single batch. Not to mention its dishwasher safe. 

Made with stainless steal, these multi-size cookie scoops are ideal for scooping ice cream and scooping/dropping cookie dough.

Whether you’re a left-hander or right-hander, this cake turntable works for everyone, as it can be turned both clockwise and counterclockwise. Thanks to the stainless steel bearing, it’ll eliminate horrible friction sound and provide silky-smooth revolving each and every time.

Why Refrigerating Cookie Dough is Beneficial?



Refrigerating the dough allows the flour to absorb moisture which helps the cookie produces a more evenly golden-brown cookie with a chewier center and crisper edge.

How Long to Refrigerate Cookie Dough?

As a general rule of thumb, you should refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.

When Not To Refrigerate Cookies?

If you want your cookies thin, crispy, or spread out then you would refrain from chilling your dough.

  • I like to reserve a few toffee chips to top the cookie dough. It's totally up to you though.

  • When you're ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll 1 tablespoon of cookie dough into a ball and place on your prepared baking sheet leaving 2 inches per cookie for spreading. (If you reserved extra toppings, place them on top of cookie dough now.)
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges of cookies are set. 
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with flaked sea salt, to taste.
  • Let your cookies cool for 15 minutes on a baking rack.  Enjoy!
