Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

Love soft and chewy oatmeal cookies? How about soft and chewy oatmeal cookies loaded with melty toffee bits and the wonderful flavors of toasted pecans? Then these Toffee Oatmeal Cookies are for you! And hey, since they have oatmeal in them, they're totally acceptable for breakfast. At least that's what we tell ourselves in our house.
prep time: 20 Mcook time: 14 Mtotal time: 34 M

ingredients:

  • 3/4 c. (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 3 c. old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 c. coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 c. toffee bits {8 oz. package}

instructions:

How to cook Toffee Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat well until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. 
  2. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat until just combined.
  4. Gently stir in oats by hand; then stir in toffee bits and pecans.
  5. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. {If you don't have parchment, very lightly spray the baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. Using either parchment or non-stick spray is important with these cookies ... as the toffee bits can get gooey and sticky if they melt onto the pan.} 
  6. Use your hands to roll 2 tablespoons dough into a ball. Place on the baking sheet and gently press down with the palm of your hand to flatten the dough ball just slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing dough balls about 2 ½” apart on the baking sheet {so you’ll only get about 8 or 9 on the baking sheet at a time}.
  7. Bake at 350℉ for 13 - 14 minutes, or until golden brown and set on the edges but still doughy looking in the middles. 
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.

  3. These look great! I love toffee and oatmeal cookies. Going to have to make some of these soon. My husband is the youth pastor at our church, so I'm sure the teens would be more than happy to help us eat them. I'd be thrilled if you'd link up at this week's Off the Hook!

  5. would it be possible to use steel oats for this recipe. We have an abundance and no one in our household likes steel oats. thinking this is a way to use w/out refraining.

    1. Absolutely not. Steel oats and old-fashioned oats don't have the same texture and "properties" at all, and steel oats take MUCH longer to cook.
