Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

These Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies are the best.  If you know me in real life, then you’ve had them, because they’re are a favourite, tried and true, go-to recipe around here.  They’re great as chocolate chip cookies, but with toffee bits added they’re even better.

I first baked these when I was in high school, that’s a little while ago, and they became my family’s go-to chocolate chip cookie.  Over the years I decided to try toffee bits and they quickly became my fav.

Another thing I love about these cookies is that they make a big batch -perfect for a party, or bake sale, or one of those occasions where you have to make cookies for church or a meeting or someone else because you’ll have enough to leave a plate at home for your kiddos too.

These cookies make me want a cup of a tea, and comfy spot.  They’re true comfort food.

With fresh homemade toffee chocolate chip cookies, life really is a party!
