Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Toffee Cookies – Yes, this is a mouthful, but my gosh are these some fantastic cookies.  My friend Carol that is in my book club is this AMAZING baker.  She is also one of the sweetest people in the world because every month at book club she makes an amazing dessert of the birthday girls choosing.

One of the favorites is her Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, which are divine.  The only problem is that my boys aren’t fond of raisins, so I put my own spin on these.  I added toffee bits and milk chocolate chips to turn these into something sinfully decadent.  In the case of my toffee bits, I used a package of Chocolate Nips and crushed them with my mallet to get coarse chunks.  See below:

Whether you use Nips, toffee bits, Heath or whatever…these are dynamite!

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Toffee Cookies
Ingredients

1c. butter
1c. brown sugar
1c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2c flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 c. quick cook oatmeal
At least 2 c. of  chocolate chips, toffee bits, coconut, candied fruit, raisins, currants-whatever you wish (I used a box of nips, crushed and 1 heaping cup of milk chocolate chips)

Directions

Beat butter and sugars together. Beat in eggs, vanilla and then dry ingredients. I use small ice cream scoop and bake on parchment paper. Bake 10 min. at 350 degrees. Do not overbake. The secret of this cookie is to remove it from the oven while still soft. Enjoy!
