Instructions Step by Step Golden Crunch Toffee Bit Cookies
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) then line both baking sheets with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from spreading and makes cleanup easier.
2. Using Dry Ingredients
Take a medium sized bowl and add baking soda, all purpose flour, salt and whisk it well. Keep it aside so that the salt and yeast mix well with the flour.
3. Butter and Sugar
Now use a large mixing bowl and using an electric mixer beat the ingredients together –
softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat well on low speed for 4 to 5 minutes. This will make the mixture fluffy and light in color and you will see air bubbles forming in it. This makes the cookies soft and delicious to eat.
4. Using Egg and Vanilla
To add the eggs, first break one egg and beat it well and then use the second egg in the same way. Now add vanilla extract and mix well.
Note: – If you want a good texture, then use only room temperature eggs. Do not use cold eggs.
5. Using Dry and Sour Ingredients
Add the prepared flour to the wet ingredients and mix slowly. You will see some streaks on the dough. Then stop beating.
Be careful not to over mix as this will make the cookies unpalatable.
6. Using Toffee Pieces and Nuts
If you want to use toffee and nuts then mix well with the help of a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon.
Here are some alternative dry ingredients-
- *Use sea salt flakes for dusting
- *Use 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- *Press on the top surface to get toffee pieces
7. Scooping and shaping the dough
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to make round balls of dough. Then place them on the baking sheet at a distance of 2 inches. If you want to make round cookies, grease them. Place all the round balls in the middle of your palm and roll them.
8. Baking the cookies
To make the cookies bake well, bake them at 350°F for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set.
Information: Sometimes baking takes less time, so do not over bake because when you take them out of the oven and place them on the baking sheet, they keep cooking a little due to being hot.
9. Cooling and serving
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 to 7 minutes so that they cool down and then place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Now enjoy Golden Crunch Toffee Bit Cookies with cold milk.
It remains a favorite among children too.
Storage:-
You can keep it at room temperature for 6 to 8 days. For this, use an airtight container.
If you want to keep it softer, then definitely put a piece of bread in the container itself.
Instructions to freeze the baked cookies:-
Let the Golden Crunch Toffee Bit Cookies cool completely at room temperature and on a wire rack.
To store it for longer periods, you can store it for up to 3 months using a freezer safe bag or container.
If you want to eat it fresh, then take it out of the freezer and keep it at room temperature so that it melts slightly or use a microwave for 8 to 10 seconds.
Freezing the raw dough:-
First make a round of dough and keep it on a baking sheet and refrigerate it.
Now when your dough is frozen, put it in a freezer safe bag. Now bake it in frozen state for 1 to 2 minutes.

For Espresso Toffee Cookies: – Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder to enhance the caramel flavor.
For Salted Toffee Cookies: – For a flavor twist, sprinkle sea salt over the cookies before baking, which gives a very salty flavor.
To make Toffee Blondies, press your dough into a baking dish and bake just like you would a Blondie Blondie Bar. No cookie sheets are used.
Baking Tips for Perfect Toffee Bit Cookies: –
If you want to get a smooth and even baking, always use room temperature eggs and butter.
Since the dough is sticky and very soft, you can cool it in your warm kitchen for 25 to 30 minutes. This will make the cookie dough better.
If you are using refined flour, do not use flour. Using flour will make your cookies very hard.
First use a silicone mat or parchment paper, which will make the cookies thinner and help prevent burning from the bottom.
If you want your cookies to look like bakery cookies, put a piece of toffee on top of the dough ball. This will not only make it tasty but will also give a special look to your table.
