Chocolate chip cookies, meet your match! These toffee chip cookies offer an irresistible spin on an old classic.
Ingredients for Butterscotch Toffee Cookies
- Large eggs
- Canola oil
- Butter pecan cake mix
- Butterscotch chips
- Milk chocolate English toffee bits
Directions
Step 1: Mix up the dough
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and oil until blended; gradually add the cake mix and mix well. Fold in the chips and toffee bits.
Editor’s Tip: We recommend mixing up the ingredients by hand. This reduces the risk of over mixing, ensuring your cookies don’t get too tough.
Step 2: Bake the cookies
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Once they’re out of the oven, let the cookies cool for a minute before moving to wire racks.
Editor’s Tip: Make sure to space cookies evenly on the baking sheet—usually about 2 inches—and consider using a piece of parchment paper so no dough sticks to the pan.
Butterscotch Toffee Cookies Variations
- Switch up the cake mix: Can’t find butter pecan cake mix? That’s OK. This recipe is pretty versatile. Anything from yellow cake mix to a spiced cake mix will bring equally soft and chewy results.
- Add toasted nuts: For extra flavor, stir in some of your favorite nuts. Toasted pecans can add additional texture and crunch—but walnuts, almonds or macadamia nuts also work.
How to Store Butterscotch Toffee Cookies
These cookies are so good, they may not make it to the storage stage. If you manage to save a few, wait until they’re completely cooled before putting them away in an airtight container. This will avoid the build-up of condensation that makes cookies soggy.
To retain enough moisture to keep cookies fresh and soft, you can store an apple wedge with them.
Butterscotch Toffee Cookies Tips
Where can I find toffee bits?
English toffee bits may not be as ubiquitous on shelves as their chocolate cousins, but tracking them down is worth the effort. If they don’t sell toffee bits at your closest grocery store, you can always find them on Amazon.
How do I bake cookies evenly?
Baking more than one batch at once might seem like the most efficient idea. However, try to limit yourself to one tray at a time on the middle oven rack, so the heat and circulation can bake cookies evenly.
