You’re just six ingredients away from these melt in your mouth good Toffee Butter Icebox Cookies!
PIN IT NOW!
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?
Gloriously soft and tender, every little bite is perfection.
Come get ya some.

How long would these stay good for in the fridge and do you think it’s freezeable? Given they would last long enough.
Cyndie says
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!
Val says
I made These tonight as Well…getting ready for Christmas. They were So easy and delish!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
That’s awesome Val – one of my favorites!
Lynda says
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.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
If you use unsalted butter, just add a pinch of salt. A quarter teaspoon would be perfect!
Lori says
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?
Lynda says
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.
Jazzmin says
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.
Virginia Neely says
Set out to make these yesterday but did not have the toffee bits like I thought. I did have Butterfinger bits so I used those…delicious!
Aliceson says
Tried this today. They are ok. Kind of bland. :/ I don’t think I’ll make them again.
Grace says
Can the dough be refrigerated for more then 2 hours?? I want to make the dough ahead of time and bake them off a few days later?!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Sure Grace! The dough can be refrigerate for several days if needed 🙂
Jane says
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.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’m glad you were able to make it work for you Jane! So glad you enjoyed the cookies!
Jane says
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
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
There are seriously some of my favorite cookies Jane! Plan on making a video for them during the holiday season 🙂
selena luna says
How long can the dough stay in the fridge?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
24 to 72 hours or maybe even longer Selena. I haven’t left it in much past that.
Jenna says
I’ve never heard of Heath… I’m in Canada. The only tofee pieces we have in the baking aisle is skor pieces would these work?
Amie says
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.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
For sure! Make the recipe your own 🙂
Codi says
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.
Brenda says
Can you freeze this and take bake later?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I haven’t tried Brenda but I don’t see why not!
Heather says
Do you use salted or unsalted butter?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I used salted for this recipe Heather but either will work just fine!
Iris Stinson says
For holidays you could add chopped candied colored cherries and really have a treat!
