Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup soft butter or margarine
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Mix-ins

  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 package Heath Bits O’Brickle Toffee Bits (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly cream the softened butter or margarine with the brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process helps incorporate air, contributing to the cookie’s texture.
  2. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract to infuse the dough with flavor and add moisture.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Mix Dry with Wet Ingredients: Gradually stir the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the cookies.
  5. Add Oats and Toffee Bits: Fold in the oats, Heath toffee bits, and shredded coconut (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a rounded spoon, drop cookie dough onto lightly greased baking sheets, spacing them appropriately to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for about 8 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
  8. Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheets for 3-4 minutes post-baking to set, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely to prevent sogginess.

Notes

  • Optionally add shredded coconut to give the cookies a subtle tropical flavor and extra texture.
  • Using old fashioned oats is recommended to maintain a chewy texture rather than quick-cooking oats.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake a minute or two longer, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for up to a week.
