Espresso Toffee Cookies

Healthy Fact of the Day

Use dark chocolate-covered toffee for added antioxidants or reduce sugar slightly if using sweet toffee bits. Swap half the butter for applesauce to cut fat without losing moisture.

These Espresso Toffee Cookies are a sophisticated treat that combines the bold, rich flavor of espresso with buttery toffee bits for the perfect balance of coffee and sweetness. With a soft, chewy texture and delightful crunch from the toffee pieces, these cookies deliver an elegant twist on classic favorites. They’re perfect for coffee lovers who want something special to pair with their afternoon cup or as an impressive addition to any dessert spread.

If you love these coffee-forward treats, you’ll also enjoy our Chocolate Cherry Upside Down Cake for another rich, indulgent dessert with complex flavors. For more elegant cookie options, try our Cheesecake Brownies or Lemon Tiramisu—both deliver that same sophisticated sweetness that makes any occasion feel special.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

    • 1 cup brown sugar

    • 0.5 cup granulated sugar

    • 2 large eggs

    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 teaspoon baking soda

    • 0.5 teaspoon salt

    • 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder

    • 1.5 cups toffee bits

    Directions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
    • Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
    • Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
    • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder until combined.
    • Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing well until a dough forms.
    • Fold in the toffee bits evenly so they are distributed throughout the cookie dough.
    • Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
    • Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week to maintain their freshness.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
