Make delicious Heath Bar cookies loaded with toffee bits! Everyone will love this soft and chewy cookie recipe, perfect for holiday baking and beyond.

I’ll be honest, Heath Bar has never been my favorite candy. It hasn’t been my least favorite (I’m looking at you, Good & Plenty), but it’s not been at the top of my list.

And maybe I never gave it a fair shake? I mean the combination of toffee and chocolate is pretty tasty. And it’s only gotten tastier as I’ve gotten older. Yes, my tastes have changed slightly and continue to change as I get older.

I decided that this year it was time to give the Heath Bar the credit it deserves, through a tasty recipe you’ve maybe not tried before: Heath Bar cookies!

For me? I like these cookies more than the candy bar alone. They have a slightly crisp outer shell with an inner core that’s soft and chewy.

They’re perfect for Christmas cookie exchanges, just like our Nutella cookies and Rolo cookies. They’re easy to make and a “fan favorite.”

Here’s what you’re going to need for these Heath Bar cookies.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Butter
3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1 cup Heath Bits (or you can break up Heath Bars into pieces)

Equipment Needed

Bowl & spoon
Cookie sheet
Parchment paper
2 tablespoon cookie scoop

If you would like there to be obvious Heath Bar bits on the top of the cookie, press a few extra down on the top before baking.

Keep these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They’ll last a few weeks in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze them in an airtight container for up to six months. When you bring them out of the freezer, let them rise to room temperature naturally as opposed to microwaving.
