Almond Toffee Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Updated October 06, 2020
After unpacking, cleaning, doing laundry, I baked cookies. Our friends were visiting from California and I wanted to make them an extra special treat. I took my chances and made up a new cookie recipe. I wanted to create a cookie with all of my favorite things: almonds, toffee, chocolate chips, and oatmeal.
I started with a basic chocolate chip oatmeal cookie base. I then added in almond extract, chopped almonds, chopped Heath bars, and chocolate chips. The cookies were loaded with goodies!
I know I baked these cookies for our friends, but of course I had to sample them, just to make sure they were safe and good enough to handout:) One bite and I was in heaven! These are my new favorite cookie! I LOVED them! The toffee melted throughout the oatmeal cookie. The almond bits and chocolate chips bulked up the cookies in the most perfect way.
I am glad I wrapped these cookies up and gave them away. I know if they were sitting on the counter I would not be able to resist. They are that good!
½ c. brown sugar
½ c. white sugar
½ cup softened unsalted butter
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ tsp. almond extract
¼ tsp. Salt
½ tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. Baking soda
1 ¼ c. flour
1 ¼ c. oats-not quick oats
Chocolate chips-¾ cup
2 Heath bars-chopped
Almonds, chopped-about ¾ cup
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Combine butter and sugar in your mixing bowl. Beat until smooth. On low, add in egg, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat until combined.
Slowly add in the dry ingredients. Stir in the oats, chocolate chips, Heath, and almonds. The dough should be nice and thick, with chunks of goodness
Scoop dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with Silpats or parchment. Bake for 10-12 minutes! Allow to cool for a minute on the cookie sheet. Move to a cooling rack and indulge!
Your cookies looks delicious. Yum!
Hi,
It's Lincoln's sister, Lyssa. I'm wondering how you resist eating all this delicious food? I've tried a few of your recipes and always love them. Thanks for a fun, informative, useful blog!
Mmm, I love that toffee and almond combo!
Lyssa-Great to hear from you! Don't worry I do eat what we make, I promise! I just don't eat it all:) I am glad you liked the recipes you have tried!
I am addicted to toffee anything… These sound fabulous!
Ooooh! These look incredible, Maria! You make lots of amazing cookies, so if these are your new favorite, I know that I'd better try them!
These look amazing! They're like English toffee oatmeal cookies, with the almonds and the chocolate.
I've done a similar one, well, I guess it just had chocolate and almonds, but I loved them. You've just added another dimension with the oats and toffee! Yum-o!
They look fantastic, love the almond extract in them! Toffee is just so good!

Oh Yum! Toffee is my favorite, especially in a cookie.
clearly, all you had to say was "heath" and i was on board. that's one of the finest candy bars ever made. question: what in the world is the difference between heath and skor?
They look THAT good. I'd love these w/ the added almonds and toffee- my two fave things to incorporate into baked goods!

These are the BEST! My husband and his whole bible study group raved about them. The only problem is they only make about 2 dozen 🙂
Renee-you can always double the recipe:) Glad the cookies were a hit!
Going shopping soon for the ingredients for these cookies! About the Heath bars, what size bar do you use – the big full-size one or the smaller snack size bars? or can i use the Heath toffee bits? Thank you!
You can chop up any of them and they will work. The bits work too!
