Simple Toffee Cookies

If you are looking for a really simple salted toffee cookies recipe, I have one for you today. These are so good - fluffy and soft with bits of toffee in them. But that is not all, the best thing is that this cookie is made with just four ingredients!

Yes, it is true. So no need to get a bunch of baking ingredients together, these will be ready to bake in no time.

Soft Toffee Cookies

 

On Sunday evenings, I like to bake a little something to top off the weekend.  It was kinda late to start a cookie from scratch so I went to one of my quick cookie recipes - cookies from a boxed cake mix. I love toffee this time of year and I had a bag of those toffee bits in my cupboard so I knew I could whip up a batch of tasty cookies pretty quickly.

We are all about making the most of the time here on Organized Island which is why we only share easy recipes.

All you need are these simple ingredients:

  • White or Vanilla Cake Mix - Either one works great for this recipe and you can use yellow cake or even chocolate cake mix if that is all you have.
  • Butter - I always recommend using real butter but you can use margarine too.
  • Egg - Just one egg is all you need, see full recipe below
  • Toffee Chips - I love this brand, but any brand works.

  • Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe – delicious and perfect!
  • Simple Lemon Cookies – light and just tart enough!

Perfect for a cookie exchange or just a sweet treat! Toffee cookies are wonderfully soft and cake-like bits of heaven. Honestly, no one will know that you used a cake mix either!

    Everyone here swears by chocolate chip cookies. I love the ease of cake box cookies though and your version looks delicious!

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
