I had all intentions of sharing 5 new cookie recipes with you last week, but then life happened. It was a crazy week filled with emotion and exhaustion beginning with a disheartening phone call and a popped tire and ending with a flood in the kitchen, destroying our new hardwood floors and wall. I’ve found if anything can make me feel better, it’s decorating and baking, so there’s plenty of new pretty and delicious inspiration coming as we have made a little progress in our home, tried to regroup and organize and bake my heart out.
One of the few memories I have of my Grandma Bruck was her standing in the kitchen, smothering just about anything with butter. She kept a stick in a butter dish on the countertop for just such occasion. I was doomed from the beginning. I was raised on butter. I remember slathering club crackers with it and licking it right off. I love incorporating butter into just about everything, but there’s something magical that happens when butter mixes with brown sugar and toffee that I find irresistible. These butter toffee cookies are no exception. I top them with my signature ingredient – sea salt.
Like most of my cookie recipes, I’m going to ask that you refrigerate your dough for the best possible cookies, and just enjoy the dough while you’re patiently waiting to bake these babies. It’s always worth it. I do it for a few scoops of dough alone.

Hi Julie!
Love your recipes and your blog! Wondering if you know if swapping an all purpose Gluten Free flour would work for these? I love Toffee!! and really want to try making these!
I don’t have any experience with gluten free flour, unfortunately. I’m sorry!
They taste terrific but my first batch came out flat and very gooey…not sure if my oven wasn’t preheated enough or what? Ended up putting both trays back in for a couple of minutes. The third tray came out perfect! Love your recipes! Looking forward to trying more
Hi! These will be a great addition to my Christmas baking. Are there chocolate chips as well….pictures kind of look like it.
No, just toffee bits – I purchase the Heath brand toffee bits. Enjoy!
Oh, boy, that stinks! I think you need a double batch of these fabulous cookies. Hope you have a terrific Thanksgiving!
You as well, Liz!
awe man what a week!!! ;( I’m thinking these cookies are much needed and welcomed!! they sounds fantastic!
These cookies looks so delicious! My daughter would love baking these with me.
I really look forward to baking with my babes over the holidays. I hope you find plenty of opportunities as well! Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m so sorry about your house woes 🙁 I’d love to come over and help you bake away the blues 🙂
