Gather Your Ingredients

Before starting, make sure you have all the ingredients on hand.

Ingredients:

  • 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tbsp. instant coffee granules
  • 1/3 cup toffee bits
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips

Brown the Butter

First, melt one stick of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it turns a golden-brown color with a nutty aroma. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Cream the Butter and Sugars

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together both sticks of softened butter with both the brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy.

Add Wet Ingredients

Next, add in the eggs and vanilla extract, making sure everything is fully incorporated.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt and instant coffee granules.

Mix Together

Slowly stir the dry mixture into the wet butter mixture until no flour pockets remain. Be careful not to over-mix.

Fold In Toffees And Chocolate Chips

Add in your toffee bits and chocolate chips, folding them in gently so as not to break them up too much.

Chill the Dough

Use a cookie scoop or spoon to make round balls of dough to your desired size. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes, longer if you have time.

Bake Cookies

Place balls of cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are spaced about 2 inches apart so they have room to spread. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool And Enjoy!

Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm, alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and enjoy every sweet, nutty bite!

Substitutions and Variations

 These cookies are perfect for coffee lovers who like a little bit of sweetness with their caffeine.

Let’s not limit ourselves to just one version of the toffee coffee cookies recipe – there are plenty of substitutions and variations that can be made! For example, instead of using pecans, try using walnuts or hazelnuts. You could also switch out the chocolate chips for butterscotch chips for a slightly different flavor.

If you want to skip the espresso powder, try adding a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor. For those who prefer a stronger coffee taste, increase the amount of espresso powder used. And if you’re looking to cut down on sugar, use unsweetened condensed milk instead.

For a fun twist on the classic toffee cookies recipe, try turning them into thumbprint cookies by pressing a toffee piece into the center before baking. Or add some oatmeal for a heartier texture and swap out the chocolate chips for buttery bits of butterscotch.

And let’s not forget about browned butter – replace regular butter with browned butter for an even richer and nuttier flavor. The possibilities are endless when it comes to making these sweet nutty cookies your own.

Serving and Pairing

The toffee coffee cookies recipe can be made ahead of time and stored for later. Once the cookies are baked and cooled, place them in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to five days. It’s best not to stack them on top of each other so that they don’t stick or break.

You can also freeze these cookies if you want to store them for longer periods. To do that, place them in a freezer-safe bag or container with layers of parchment paper between each cookie to prevent them from sticking together. The cookies will keep well in the freezer for up to three months.

To reheat frozen or refrigerated cookies, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the cookies for 5-7 minutes. They will taste just as fresh as when they were first baked.

These toffee coffee cookies are best served warm with a cup of coffee. If you want to serve them warm, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the cookies for 5 minutes before serving. They also pair well with milk or hot chocolate.

If you’re a fan of coffee and toffee, these cookies are a must-try.

To ensure the Toffee Coffee Cookies come out just right, follow these tips for perfect results.

Firstly, make sure to use room temperature unsalted butter for the recipe. This will help ensure better blending with the other ingredients and avoid lumps in the dough.

Secondly, do not overmix the dough. You want to mix everything until it is just combined, which helps make the cookies tender and not hard.

Thirdly, if you’re feeling adventurous, try adding in different variations of nuts or even different chocolate chip flavors. Oatmeal or butterscotch would be highly recommended.

Fourthly, don’t overbake the cookies. As tempting as it may be to keep them in the oven for longer, this can cause them to become dry and crumbly instead of chewy and flavorful.

Lastly, allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them. This will help prevent them from becoming soggy and ensure they stay crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Store them at room temperature in an airtight container with wax paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Following these tips will guarantee that your Toffee Coffee Cookies are sweet nutty perfection that are hard not to enjoy!

FAQ

As a barista, I understand the importance of addressing frequently asked questions to ensure that your coffee experience is satisfactory. With that in mind, here are some answers to common inquiries about this recipe for Toffee Coffee Cookies.

How to make Snoop Dogg’s cookie?

To make our peanut butter cookies, you’ll need 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You’ll also need 2 sticks of unsalted butter at room temperature, 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar, and 1/2 cup of regular sugar. Lastly, you’ll need 1 large egg.

Which cookie is best with coffee?

As a barista, I often suggest pairing certain types of cookies with different coffees to enhance the flavor experience. Biscotti, which originated in Italy and is known for its dry and lengthy texture, has become a popular choice among coffee lovers worldwide. The classic sugar cookie, cinnamon-infused snickerdoodle, rich chocolate chocolate chip, and nutty macadamia nut cookies also make for excellent coffee accompaniments.

What makes the chewiest cookies?

Creating chewy cookies is largely influenced by the level of moisture present in the batter. Altering the balance of wet and dry ingredients or modifying the method of ingredient addition can effectively boost the moisture content and produce a denser, chewier cookie.

What makes cookies puffy not flat?

To achieve puffy, well-risen cookies, it’s crucial to cream room temperature butter with sugar. This will ensure that air is incorporated into the mixture. In case the butter is too warm, it will not capture enough air, resulting in less risen cookies.

Bottom Line

In conclusion, this Toffee Coffee Cookies recipe is an absolute must-try for all coffee lovers out there. With its sweet and nutty flavor, it’s bound to become your new favorite treat. The use of ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk and coffee toffee will take your taste buds on a journey to coffee and dessert heaven.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with this recipe, as I have provided variations such as adding pecans, oatmeal or butterscotch instead of chocolate chips. You could also try using different types of coffee powder or adding more butter and espresso for an even stronger coffee flavor.

Remember that baking is like a science experiment, so don’t be discouraged if your first batch doesn’t turn out perfect. Just keep experimenting until you find the perfect combination of flavors that satisfies you.

So what are you waiting for? Get ready to indulge in some delicious Toffee Coffee Cookies! Your taste buds will thank you for it.
