Heath Bar Cookies

Soft and chewy cookies with plenty of crushed toffee and chocolate chips.
Prep Time:25 minutes
Cook Time:12 minutes
Total Time:37 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup salted butter (1 stick) softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounce package Heath Bits O'Brickle
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prep. Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or lightly coat them with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Wet Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and egg on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Add the vanilla and blend until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.

  • Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined to avoid overmixing.
    dry ingredients added to bowl before and after mixin.
  • Add the Chocolate Chips and Heath Bits. Manually fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Heath Bits O'Brickle into the batter, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout.

  • Shape. Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets using a tablespoon. Prepare 15 cookies per sheet. Space each scoop approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during the baking process.

  • Bake. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The precise time may vary depending on the oven, so monitor the cookies towards the end of the baking time.
  • Cool. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the cookie sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

You can freeze the cookie dough as balls and bake them straight from frozen (just add 1-2 minutes off baking time).
And if you're having trouble finding Heath bits for your cookies, don't worry! You can always crush up some Heath Bars and leave out the chocolate chips. It'll still taste just as delicious.
And remember that using quality vanilla extract will make all the difference in the flavor of your cookies. Opting for the real thing instead of imitation will enhance the overall richness and taste.
