Buttery, chewy toffee cookies chock full of toffee pieces and bits will be your new favorite cookie.
I make chewy toffee cookies every June for Father's Day.
Toffee is one of my dad's favorite flavors. I think it's the British in him. He was born across the pond.
But, he's an American citizen and served in the US Air Force in the Vietnam War.

This is an easy cookie to make and so chewy thanks to butter and brown sugar.
It's a great one too if you'd like to make homemade ice cream sandwiches.
The cookie will hold up well to being sandwiched together with ice cream.
I would suggest chocolate or coffee ice cream.
Chocolate and toffee pair quite well together as you'll see with this cookie.
But these cookies are perfect on their own with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk too.
Chewy Toffee Cookie Recipe Tips
What I love about this recipe is the ease. Drop cookies are so easy to make there’s no excuse, other than your pant size, not to keep fresh cookies in the house always.
Use whatever toffee you have. I really like Heath bits but whatever you can find will do. It doesn’t matter whether the bits are chocolate covered or not.
You could also finely chop up toffee bars to use instead of bits as long as you’ve got the right amount. You’ll want at least a cup and a third of bits--that’s the amount in an 8-ounce bag of bits.
Or you can make your own toffee.
