Today is the start of our Spring Break–well that is, as soon as the kids get home from school in a few hours! Â We are all very excited for the time off and have some fun things planned! Â To celebrate I whipped up a batch of these amazing Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Toffee cookies. Â These chocolate chip cookies are our new family favorite! Â The addition of chewy oatmeal and buttery toffee bits create an incredibly tasty cookie! Â I actually brought these cookies ( that I had in the freezer), Â to our Pinewood Derby last night. Â My boys were so anxious about their cars and the races that they didn’t head over to the refreshment table in time to get any. Â Since they were so disappointed to miss out, Â I promised to make more as an after school treat today. Â By the way, these cookies freeze beautifully and are nice to have on hand when you forget about a treat you were asked to provide! Â Ha–I am sure that never happens to you!
Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Toffee Cookies are such a fun combination of flavors and textures that make them perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re enjoying them as a snack, dessert, or as a special treat for friends and family, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So, why wait? Whip up a batch of these heavenly cookies today and experience the joy of homemade goodness!
Once again, I will share this little tip in case you missed it before: Â I like to keep my chocolate chips in the freezer. Â That way when you add them it almost immediately chills the dough for you!

Thank you for posting your review and tips! Your cookies sound awesome!! YUM!
I just made these for a work celebration and they came out yummy. I added 1 cup of butterscotch chips since why not but then I forgot the chocolate chips (wah!) but the cookies came out just fabulous and everyone wants the recipe. I added an extra teaspoon of vanilla and also added 1 tablespoon of dark molasses (from a different oatmeal cookie recipe) for a little depth.
Will make again and hopefully remember the chocolate chips! Next will try your oatmeal toffee p.b. bars!
Thats awesome!! I am so happy you liked them as much as we do. Your addition of finely chopped walnuts sounds awesome!! You can find this recipe on my new site http://www.melandboyskitchen,.com. I just transferred all the recipes there!!
I made these today, and added finely chopped walnuts. They baked perfectly on insulated cookie sheets, and were so moist and chewy. I got rave reviews from my kids and my fussy husband!
Hi Melanie,
I’ve been finding dangerously delicious recipes on your blog lately! I have a question about these cookies. Why do you use cold butter and not cream it? I’ve never done that for cookies before.
I love your blog 🙂

I like a little better with semi sweet for this recipe since the toffee is an added sweetness, BUT I have made them with Milk chips and they are fantastic too! I would say either will work beautifully!

Milk chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips?

Hi Mel! These look so delicious! We definitely think alike because I made oatmeal toffee chocolate chip cookies last week. I chopped up Skor candy bar (my favorite) instead if using toffee bits. They were soooo good!
