Here is a linked list of my favorite cookie baking supplies. I’ve used these for years, so they’ve been tried and tested and been found … perfect!

Tell me all about these Toffee Log Cookies

Texture – These cookies are tender, soft and lightly crisp. The dark chocolate hardens to create a perfect layer of structure. Then topped with lightly crunchy toffee gives these cookies a perfect texture trifecta.
Flavor – Buttery soft cookies are quickly becoming my favorite. They’re not overly sweet and provide the most delicious blank canvas for holiday cookies. Adding toffee chips and plenty of chocolate really makes these look fancy with minimal effort.
Difficulty Level – I’d categorize this recipe between simple and moderate difficulty. This is only because there is the additional steps of shaping the cookies and dipping them in toppings. So it’s more involved than your typical drop cookies, but still fail-proof.
Time – Be sure your butter and egg are room temperature before starting. Other than that, these cookies do not require any chilling and are baked and ready for topping in less than 25 minutes start to finish. The chocolate takes about 15 minutes until they’re travel-ready.
Storage – These cookies keep for a loooong time. Like, I’ve had some for 2 weeks and they’re still pretty good. For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container at room temperature and consume within one week.

Making simple swaps

Gluten Free – The cookies in these pictures were made with King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten Free Flour Blend, and they’re amazing. You seriously cannot even tell they’re gluten free (just ask my father). Want to know why I use King Arthur’s Flour? Check out this post.
Dairy Free – The butter in this recipe can be swapped out for a dairy free butter substitute, such as Country Crock Plant Butter (my personal go-to). My only trick is to keep that butter more chilled than normal, because it tends to soften and melt faster than regular butter. So let it sit out for only about 15 minutes before using.
Vegan – To replace the egg, check out this handy chart on Vegan Vanilla Donut Recipe. My favorite swap is the flax egg, although I haven’t tried it yet for this recipe.
