Heath Bar Cookies start with a chocolate chip cookie dough base, but in addition to those melting semi-sweet morsels, these rich buttery cookies contain the toffee-tastic magic of Heath bars.
Heath Bar Cookies
These Heath bar cookies are absolutely fabulous. They are a wonderful mix of crunchy and chewy, and the rich toffee is heavenly, as any person who loves Heath bars can tell.
Just remember that the size of the cookie is key to achieving a bakery-style cookie with a chewy center and crispy edges all around. A medium size scoop with approximately 2 tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie works perfectly.
I’ve made recipes with room-temperature butter, melted butter, and cold butter. Each method affects the end result a little differently.
For this particular recipe, I have found that the desired thickness and chewiness requires cold, cubed butter. So, you’ll want to chop cold butter into ½-inch cubes for these cookies.
Sea Salt Toffee Crumbl Cookie
Ok, so, I’m a big fan of salt in my baked goods. Salted chocolate, salted toffee, salted caramel, salt does so much to balance and enhance the sweetness. The sea salt toffee Crumbl cookie is a good example of the effect.
One of the best parts about making cookies like this at home is that you can make the dough ahead of time and store it in the freezer for when you need (or crave!) them. Just scoop the cookie dough into balls before freezing them on a tray.
Then, when you’re ready to make them, transfer them directly from the freezer to a baking sheet. Add about 1 minute additional cooking time if the dough is frozen.
When I don’t have time to pre-scoop the dough, I simply place all the dough together into a freezer-safe ziploc and press flat. When ready to bake, just set it on the counter to thaw until soft enough to scoop it, about 20-30 minutes.
Heath Bar Cookie Recipe
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:
- butter
- granulated sugar and brown sugar
- egg
- all-purpose flour and kosher salt
- baking powder and baking soda
- Heath candy bars
- semi-sweet chocolate chips
Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F. Next, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the butter and both sugars in a mixing bowl and beat until smooth. Then, add the eggs and beat again until fully incorporated.
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Then, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while beating to combine.
Stir in the chopped candy bars, toffee bits, and chocolate chips. Then, use a medium-sized scoop to place scoops of dough about 2 tablespoons in size onto the lined cookie sheet.
Bake 11-12 minutes until just barely browned around the edges. Then, remove from the oven while still soft, as soon as they are puffy and cracked on top.
Let them cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer to wire cooling racks and allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
