I am all over these cookies. Fast, easy and melt in your mouth good. Like, literally, they melt in your mouth. I took my favorite slice and bake icebox cookie recipe and threw in some Heath toffee bits for fun. Toffee is always a good call in my book but GEEZ are they good in these cookies!

The creamy milk chocolate and rich toffee flavors go perfectly with these rich, buttery cookies. And I m loving that little crunch that the toffee provides. And here’s the best part…there is only SIX ingredients.

Definitely my kind of recipe.

Icebox cookies (aka slice and bake aka refrigerator cookies) are great to have on hand. You can make the dough ahead of time and then slice and bake the cookies as needed. Cause, you know, you don’t always need a couple dozen cookies at a time. Smart, right?

    Can you use chocolate chips instead of the Heath pieces?

    Hi Trish! I am definitely going to try these cookies! Thanks. When I was a little girl, my mother used to make icebox cookies with bits of pecan in them. Seeing your recipe here reminded me of that forgotten memory. If I use your recipes and exchange the Heath toffee bits for chopped pecans, do you think it would work out ok? Thanks, again!

    • Trish - Mom On Timeout says

      June 19, 2019 at 6:45 PM

      Yes to the pecans! That is going to be a seriously yummy cookie. I just made a double batch of these cookies last weekend and they were every bit as good as I remembered 🙂

    Do your Heath Toffee Bits just have the toffee or do they have chocolate to like the candy bar? I made these this weekend and they were amazing but my “bits” are just toffee and your pics look like they have a little chocolate in the bits too. I wonder if my “bits” were different and I should remake with better “bits”!!!! 🙂

      They do have chocolate! It’s the bag of Heath bits that I get in the baking aisle right next to the chocolate chips. Hope that helps but I’m sure they are good either way.

    These are my new go-to cookie! So easy to make plain, or add any combination of goodies totally 1 cup to the mix. I added Skor bits and pecans and then drizzled them in chocolate this year for my work Cookie Exchange, and they were a hit! Thanks for the recipe! 🙂

      I have made these 3 times and freeze them after baking. You can take as many as you want out of the freezer and it doesn’t take long to thaw. They also taste pretty wonderful “almost” thawed if you can’t wait!

    This is my scond Christmas baking these. They were a big hit last year. You mentioned that you use salted butter because it was ?healthier? Did you mean unsalted butter? I always use unsalted butter for baking. I can’t remember if I added a little salt to the batter last year. If I am using unsalted butter should I add 1/4 tsp of salt?
    For those wondering if the dough can be frozen. yes, it can. I make a double recipe. Make four rolls of dough, then wrap them each in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze them. You can take out as much as you want to bake at one time. Let the dough thaw before you try to slice it. But, slice it while it is still well chilled.

      If you use unsalted butter, just add a pinch of salt. A quarter teaspoon would be perfect!

    Can the cookie be frozen after they are baked? I don’t need them for a couple of weeks but I won’t have time to make them later. I was hoping that after they have cooled, I could put them in freezer bags and pull them out later. What do you think?

    Reply
    • Lynda says

      December 11, 2016 at 7:01 PM

      I’ve never frozen them after I baked them. But I have frozen drop cookies very successfully. You can freeze the dough in rolls and slice and bake them a day or two ahead. That’s what I usually do with slice and bake cookies.

    Do you think I could sub 1/4 cup flour for 1/4 cup cocoa powder? I’d like to make these a little less sweet and more of a chocolate flavor.

    These cookies taste delicious though Im not sure what happened, my dough was so dry that when I tried to slice the logs they shattered into crumbs. I had to really squeeze the crumbs to get them to hold their shape and then flattened them into a fairly regular size. I’ve been a baker most of my life and there was no way I was going to toss them, I’ve learned to adapt when needed lol. Next time I try this recipe I may test it first by trying to make a ball before rolling into logs – and if it still feels too dry I’ll add a few drops of water as needed.

        Just made these again and wow they turned out phenomenal! This time I had no issues at all with crumbly dough thank goodness 🙂 Up here in Canada we can only get Skor toffee bits – no chocolate on them but they are just as good without in these cookies. Now that I know they worked out great I’ll be making these alot more often

      Skor is very similar I prefer Skor candy bars to Heath I bet it would work just fine. She uses a basic recipe. You could actually modidy to your preferences.

    Will just using regular toffee pieces work just fine? I didn’t realize you got the ones covered in chocolate. I saw those at the store but since it just said Health Toffee I figured it was just toffee.
