It is no secret that I have an obsession with cookies. We have over 100 cookie recipes on our food blog. I love baking, eating, and sharing cookies. They make me happy. I told myself I wasn’t going to bake any cookies this week because it is so hot outside. I didn’t want to turn the oven on to heat up the house, but I was browsing Tasty Kitchen and came across Aimee’s recipe for Toffee Crunch Cookies. I knew I was in trouble. The cookies are loaded with oats, crisp rice cereal, marshmallows, and chocolate chips. All of my favorites in one cookie! I jumped out of my chair and turned the oven on. Sorry summer heat, my love for cookies always comes first.
To make the cookies you will need: butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, baking soda, baking powder, oats, crispy rice cereal, milk chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows.
Combine butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl.
Mix until butter and sugars are creamy and smooth.
Add eggs, one at a time and mix until combined.
Add in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Fold in the oats, crispy rice cereal, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows.
Form cookie dough into rounded tablespoons and place on parchment-lined baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake in a 350ºF oven for 10-12 minutes.
Let cookies cool on the parchment paper for about 5 minutes.
I am so glad I turned on the oven to make these cookies. They are insanely delicious. The marshmallows melt while baking, creating a sweet chewy cookie. The cookies kind of taste like a rice crispy treat, but with oats and chocolate chips … and in cookie form.
If you are looking for a new cookie recipe to bake, I highly recommend these Toffee Crunch Cookies. I am a cookie connoisseur and I give these cookies two big thumbs up. Thanks Aimee for sharing your wonderful cookie recipe. Make sure you check out Amiee’s blog, Shugary Sweets for other tasty recipes.

Did anyone else have trouble removing these cookies from anything they touched?? I mean so impossible to get off parchment paper that I threw a lot away…
Laura on 7.19.2011
These are TOO good! I made them a bit smaller and got 4 dozen medium size cookies. I used salted butter plus 1/4 teaspoon salt and they were perfect.
Missy Jill (What's Going On Here!?) on 7.19.2011
I just printed the recipe. My kids are ravenous this summer, they NEED these!
Emily E on 7.18.2011
Wheres the toffee!!
Camille S. on 7.18.2011
I made these for a family vacation road trip snack. They were gone so fast!! The marshmallows get all melty in the cookies and taste like toffee, and the rice cereal gives it a bit of crunch inside the soft dough. I loved them, and will definitely make them again!

Here on my post Carmogeddon Monday in the City of Angels, I decided to give this recipe a try. Used semi-sweet chocolate chips (since I have them) and regular oats. Turned out pretty well… I do agree that it needs that pinch of salt (or maybe I should have used salted butter?), but they are delicious. I can see how you could also put in a few butterscotch chips. They will be enjoyed by the crew at work!

The recipe doesn’t call for salt, but I tossed a pinch in. I love salt in my cookies! Enjoy!

These looks delicious!!!!
rozanie on 7.17.2011
Can’t wait to try these!
tleedaw on 7.17.2011
Made these for breakfast today…we were outta bacon and I had been so anxious to try them I made them in the morning…naughty mommy! They are both beautiful and tasty, I love the way the marshmellows melt, run and carmelize.
Cheesy Pennies on 7.17.2011
I made these yesterday…swapped in Golden Grahams cereal for the Rice Crispies, and used semi-sweet chocolate chips. Was expecting them to taste like s’mores, but they really do taste like toffee! I agree with Megan about the recipe needing salt. I wound up salting mine, too. But otherwise, a fantastic new option for chocolate chip cookies!
Beth in Texas (Formerly California) on 7.17.2011
They sound heavenly, and I can’t wait to make them but…..where’s the toffee?! I would probably add some toffee chips found in the baking aisle.
Heidi on 7.17.2011
Thanks for sharing the recipe!! I can’t wait to try it! My son’s allergic to chocolate chips so I’ll bake half the dough and then add choc. to the rest for the rest of us!!!
Janet K on 7.17.2011
These cookies look amazing and I will have to try them….but, I just have to say that I LOVE the first photo on the post…it is jkust fantastic!
Megan on 7.16.2011
My husband and I both thought that these were missing somthing. They NEED salt, so we salted the cooked cookies and they tasted great! Next time I’ll add it in with the flour and baking soda.
Carolyn S on 7.16.2011
These look fantastic. I noticed in the first ingredients picture that there is a container of salt. But the salt is never mentioned again. Is there suppose to be salt in this recipe?
'Licia on 7.16.2011
These are fat-free, right?
Audrey S. on 7.16.2011
Just made these and they are definitely a keeper! Thank you for posting the recipe.

Carolyn on 7.16.2011
Anxious to try these cookies. And the pineapple pie.
Katrina on 7.16.2011
This cookie sounds perfect! Yum!
phyll97 on 7.15.2011
Too funny i posted a very similar cookie recipe today on my blog – no rice cereal or marshmallows though – it is delish! My favorite because you are right Ree it has all the ingredients to make a great cookie!!! http://www.theaverageconsumer.com
Ann on 7.15.2011
Marshmallows? Be still my beating heart! Those look incredible!!
ac007 on 7.15.2011
These cookies look delicious!
Ricki C on 7.15.2011
I’m guessing that is supposed to say “cool” on parchment paper rather than “cook”? Confused me for a second or two!
Maria on 7.15.2011
I wondered why they were called Toffee Crunch Cookies too, but then I made them. When the marshmallows melt in with the oats, it gives the cookie a toffee texture. At least that is my guess:)
CherylO on 7.15.2011
Awwwww…..these look wonderful. I WILL be making these soon. In fact, I would make them this afternoon if I had the mini marshmallows!
Lisa W on 7.15.2011
Ree,
Is it weird that I recognize your thumb in photos?1
Wenderly on 7.15.2011
I love a cookie with a good crunch…and then that sweet, chewy, melding of flavors that comes afterward. I could eat about 6 dozen of these babies. Not all in one sitting of course. (Maybe).
A Cozy Kitchen on 7.15.2011
I love how obsessed you are with cookies! It’s awesome. I love any cookie with a crunch!
Laura on 7.15.2011
same question as someone else…why are they called toffee crunch when they don’t have any toffee in them? looks awesome though!
Janet Rudolph @ DyingforChocolate on 7.15.2011
Fabulous photos, and I’ll bet they’re terrific tasting. Thanks for the recipe!
Liz on 7.15.2011
These look amazing!! It’s chilly and dreary in the northwest today, great cookie making weather
Though, I have to agree with Charity, why are they called Toffee Crunch when they don’t have toffee in them and they’re a chewy cookie? ^_^;
TiffH on 7.15.2011
I wish we were neighbors then you could share these yummy cookies with me and I wouldn’t have to heat up my house by turning on an oven when its 107 outside to make these. Maybe you can just overnight them
I seriously need these. yummy.
Charity on 7.15.2011
I hope this isn’t a dumb question, but why are they called toffee crunch cookies if there’s no actual toffee in them?
Emily on 7.15.2011
OOOOOOOOO wow!!! You had me at toffee! Another amazing recipes creation by you guys!! Love it! Happy weekend!

Those look good! Except in my house we would add pecans to them. Chocolate chip cookies do not get baked unless pecans are added in my house! : )
Patrice on 7.15.2011
This is awesome! Our local bakery makes a toffee crunch cookie that I have been trying to figure out. Alas I am not a confident baker so I need a recipe. While this is not exactly the same it is worth a try! It looks delish. Thank you so much for posting it!
missinthekitchen on 7.15.2011
When I saw the photo I just knew this was your post. This is a cookie my kids would love. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Heather on 7.15.2011
Maria you seriously make the best cookies…these sound highly addictive!
