These delicious Chocolate Chunk Toffee Cookies are soft and chewy, have dark chocolate and toffee bits in every bite, and are quick and easy to make.
When I think of cookies, I think of big chunky cookies loaded with fun ingredients. That’s the way I’ve always enjoyed them since I was a kid. Growing up, I knew I was in for a treat if the cookies I was looking at were all lumpy. I knew that meant that they were stuffed with delicious ingredients that I was about to dive into. That’s why I love these cookies so much. While they’re not as chunky as some cookies, you can tell you’re in for a ton of flavor. You can see all of those tasty chocolate chunks, and it’s easy to see just how soft and chewy they’re going to be. I always make these cookies when my kids, and they’re one of my go-to cookie recipes for potlucks and parties, as well.

Chocolate Chunk Toffee Cookies Tips and Variations
While these cookies are super easy to make, there are things you can do to make them even tastier. I’m sharing those tips along with some delicious variations that I think you’ll love.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is fully softened so it creams easily and mixes well.
- Bring your eggs to room temperature before adding them to the batter for the best texture.
- To avoid measuring out too much flour, gently spoon the flour into your measuring cup until it’s overflowing, then, level it off with the flat of a knife.
- Once the cookies are taken out of the oven, immediately use a biscuit cutter or something round (a little bigger than the cookie) and put over the cookie and shake it in a circular motion for round cookies that are all the same size. A cookie hack that works great!
Variations
- Try adding your favorite nuts to this recipe for even more chunky goodness.
- Use milk chocolate or semisweet chocolate, if you prefer.
- Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with toffee bits before baking for more flavor and texture.
Chocolate Chunk Toffee Cookies FAQ
If you have questions about this recipe, then read on. The following FAQ answers the most commonly asked questions about these cookies.
Can you freeze chocolate chip cookie dough?
Absolutely. Portion the dough into cookie-sized balls. Then chill them in the refrigerator. Transfer them to an airtight, freezer-safe container or heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
How does cornstarch affect cookie dough?
Cornstarch can make cookies thicker and chewier. Adding cornstarch makes the perfect chewy texture.
What ingredient keeps cookies moist?
The major ingredient that makes cookies moist is egg yolk. For moister cookies, use twice as many eggs as the recipe calls for but only use the yolks.
Why are my cookies flat and greasy?
Cookies generally get a flat, greasy, and crispy texture when too little flour is added.
What makes cookies chewy or crispy?
In both cases, it’s eggs. Or rather, certain parts of the egg. Using egg yolks will result in chewy cookies, while using only egg whites will make crispy, crunchy cookies.
How to Store Homemade Cookies
Store your cookies in an air-tight container at room temperature for about a week. While cookies will technically keep well for a couple of weeks, they start to become stale after about a week.
