Chocolate Chip Cookies with Toffee Bits

 
Now who doesn’t like a chocolate chip cookie? To top off with some toffee bits in it! Put them together for a great treat you’ll want to eat more. Making it hard to stop.

Now if you’re like me, not eating the cookie dough is a toughie. No judging here. I just want to taste the product before heading to the oven. Just checking if I didn’t miss an ingredient and if it’s good to go, right?😉

Which is what I did when I was making this batch. Forgot the brown sugar! See? I knew there was a reason.

So if you forget the sugar, you can always add it at the end without messing up the mixture at all. 😉

This recipe makes for a good crunchy outer crust with a soft inner cookie making it very easy and enjoyable to eat. In every bite there is some crunch with more chew! And that is how I love to eat my cookies. If you only want a chocolate chip cookie just omit the toffee and there you have it.

The other thing I love about this recipe is that there is no refrigeration needed to make these beauts puff up the way they do. That is because of the cream of tartar. It helps the baking soda do its magic. I pretty much made baking powder. So if you don’t have cream of tartar on hand, you can always substitute baking powder for the baking soda and cream of tartar. 🙂 Enjoy!
