Heath Oatmeal Toffee Cookies & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Half a bag of the Heath Toffee Bits remained after making the Caramel Crunch Bars with Tuesdays with Dorie...so I turned the package over and found the recipe for Oatmeal Toffee Cookies!

Half the batch were Oatmeal Toffee Cookies (click for recipe) with Heath Toffee Bits, and the other half used mini-chocolate chips.

I cut the sugar from 2 cups to 1 3/4, used old fashioned oatmeal instead of quick cook oatmeal, and (of course) did not include the optional coconut flakes. The package says you should get 4 dozen cookies but I got 5 dozen because I made them a bit smaller.

My toffee cookies came out a lot flatter than the chocolate chip ones...I wonder why? Same dough, just different "bits" added in. Oh well, they were gobbled up at the library.

  22. Toffee bits sound awesome! I don't think we have them in Australia. The flatness might be a sugar thing. I find with Anzac biscuits they flatten more with more sugar.

  26. It's a toss-up now -- making these or re-making the bars with a bigger batch. Or, I could just buy more toffee bits...
