Prepare for Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the bars out later. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
Make the Cookie Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of the Heath English Toffee Bits with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Bake the Bars
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of toffee bits over the top of the dough.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, not wet batter. Do not overbake to keep them chewy.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before adding the drizzle.
Add Chocolate Drizzle
- While the bars are cooling, prepare the chocolate drizzle. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. This typically takes 60-90 seconds.
- Once the bars have cooled slightly, drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the top using a spoon or by transferring it to a small piping bag (or a Ziploc bag with a corner snipped off).
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature (or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process). Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire slab of Toffee Cookie Bars from the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 24 squares or desired bar size.
Notes
Store leftover Toffee Cookie Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. For an extra treat, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
