Butterscotch Brickle Cookies.

My one true love.

So maybe I have a lot of one true loves when it comes to food, but hey, that’s just who I am.

When I was rummaging through my great grandmother’s old recipe collection, I came across a recipe for Butterscotch Refrigerator Cookies.

Naturally, I was immediately intrigued.

Refrigerator cookies. Like, cookie dough that you keep in your refrigerator. In a log. That you just slice off and bake when you’re feeling frisky.

BREAK ME OFF A PIECE OF THAT. (Said in my best 1995 Tai-from-Clueless voice).

As per usual, I decided that if I was going to bake these cookies I couldn’t just plagiarize the recipe. AKA I couldn’t just leave well enough alone.

So when I opened my disaster of a baking cupboard, and laid my eyes on a package of Heath brand Bits O’ Brickle that had been waiting for its true purpose, I knew what I had to do.

Butterscotch + Brickle.

Sounds like a match made in Heaven to me. Wouldn’t you agree?

And guess what? It works. It works SO well.

These cookies are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The Bits ‘O Brickle melt just enough into the dough to create these little pools of butterscotch-y toffee amazingness.

You can also use caramel baking bits if you can’t find toffee bits.

So, so good.

There’s one caveat, though. Adding the toffee bits to the dough means that you can’t quite do the whole log-slice refrigerator dough thing.

Technically you can omit the toffee bits, roll the dough into a log, and slice and bake as needed. The dough lasts for a week in the fridge.

BUT I highly suggest putting the toffee bits in there if you can swing it. And here’s the best part: you can scoop and freeze the cookie dough for up to a year!

Take my advice – just like with my Salted Double Chocolate Fudge Cookies, the best thing you can do for yourself is to keep a couple dozen portions of the dough in your freezer.

Just don’t hold me responsible if all of that frozen cookie dough doesn’t quite make it to the oven.

I’m not going to say that you should eat raw cookie dough.

Because, you know , as they say loud and clear on every store-bought cookie dough package “DO NOT CONSUME RAW DOUGH“.

But I also can’t be held responsible for what you do in the privacy of your own home. Er, freezer.

Just sayin’.

Make yourself, and your family some of these Butterscotch Brickle Cookies ta-day.

And if you must, serve a healthy dish beforehand and have some of these chewy toffee-filled delights afterward.

In the name of cleansing the palate, of course.

Or in the name of just doing whatever the heck you want. Life is short. Honey, have yourself a dang cookie.
