HOW TO MAKE TOFFEE COOKIES STEP-BY-STEP:
Check out the quick visual guides below. For full instructions and ingredients, see the printable recipe card at the end.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray lightly with cooking spray.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar cookie mix, all-purpose flour, and cornstarch until combined.
Step 3: Add the melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer on high speed with a paddle attachment to mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 4: Fold in the chopped Heath bar bits (or your preferred chocolate and toffee candy).
Step 5: Using a 1 1/2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, form cookie dough balls and place them evenly across the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about an inch of space between each one.
Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 7: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack or serve warm.
PRO TIP:
For extra chewy centers and crispy edges, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking. Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape, enhances the toffee flavor, and allows the butter mixture to fully blend with the dry ingredients for the best results.
