Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup toffee bits, like Heath Bits o’ Brickle
  • Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in oats and toffee bits: Mix in oats and toffee bits until evenly combined.
  6. Chill dough: Optionally, chill dough for 30 minutes to reduce spreading.
  7. Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto baking sheets, space them apart, press lightly, and sprinkle with sea salt. Bake for 10–12 minutes.
  8. Cool and store: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for best creaming.
  • Chilling dough enhances flavor and shape.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze dough balls or baked cookies for up to 2 months.
  • For extra richness, brown the butter before mixing.
