When I told you that I had extra baking goodies from the holidays, did I mention all of these half used bags of chips???
The thought of throwing all of these into one kitchen sink cookie DID cross my mind. However, I just wasn’t sure how that would go. Instead, I used the M&M’s to make these incredible cookies last week. Check them out because the BOY is STILL talking about them.
And then searched the backs of all my bags in search of a recipe, eventually deciding on a peanut butter recipe with Heath bits.
This peanut butter dough is rich and creamy! However, since I had limited amounts of Heath bits left, I threw in some extra butterscotch chips too.
Great combination!!!
Even the dough is delicious!
Don’t trust me…try a bite when you make these cookies yourself : )
And then make sure to bake them up because these cookies are soft, chewy, and addicting!
The butterscotch chips add the perfect texture combined with toffee in a sweet peanut butter cookie.
Ok, truth is that I am way too tired to type another line, so I will finish this post with the last few mouth watering pictures hoping they give you sweet eve-of-Valentine’s dreams!
Did it work? Are you craving peanut butter, butterscotch, and toffee yet?
Peanut Butter Butterscotch Toffee Cookies
Adapted From HEATH
Makes 3 dozen cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy Peanut Butter
1-1/4 cups packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons milk (I used almond milk)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup HEATH BITS ‘O BRICKLE Toffee Bits
1 cup butterscotch chips
Directions
Heat oven to 375°F.
Beat butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl until well blended. Add egg; beat just until blended. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. Stir in toffee bits and butterscotch chips.
Drop by heaping teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet; top each with reserved bits.
Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until set. Do not overbake. Cool 2 minutes. Remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
You’re making me seriously starving. I want 12 of those cookies. They’re full of PB so they have to be filled with protein and healthy fats, right
?
That is exactly what I told myself as I ate a handful after lunch today : ) Luckily I left all the leftovers at work so no more temptation left!
haha i agree with carly! they have pb sooooooo! these look soo good ! thats what my stash of holiday baking chips looks like i thought it was never ending til i went to find choco the other day and was out :-/
Hooray for Peanut Butter Cookies!!! It’s amazing how long that stash can last. I have to find at least another gathering to bake for so that all temptation has disappeared : )
That is so many bags of chips!! I can’t believe they last in your house that long!! This week my roommate had a few bags and I was confused because neither of us really keep chocolate in the house (cocoa powder actually gives her migraines so she can only eat white) but then when I got home last night I found her making pretzels dipped in chocolate with sprinkles!
Those are totally my weakness! I should make some this weekend : ) I don’t really snack on the chips and was actually doing well with the cookies too until lunch today. Afterwhich I found myself in a sugar coma…ha ha!
Butterscotch chips many ANY cookie better!! And–wow–they look like they turned out perfectly. Not over cooked, not under cooked. Just perfect. Nice!
Thanks! I thawed them out and they wre PERFECT still! I agree about butterscotch. It’s amazing how well it goes with peanut butter! Hope you are having a nice Valentine’s Day!
My mom would love these cookies! There’s no way those bags of candy would last that long at my house…I’d end up eating them by the handfuls
So funny! I brought a bag to my mom this week and she was VERY pleased!
You are tempting me, girl! And I’m on a diet! WAH! I want a cookie now!
Yes I should have warned you that these cookies don’t work well with Dietbet! Stay strong!
Wow these look amazing. I love the idea of combining a bunch of different chips into the cookies. I don’t think I can make these otherwise I would eat all of them (that is if I don’t eat the batter first!)
That is a fair concern! The sweet peanut butter dough is tempting and tasty. Save them for your next get together or work party : )

There’s no way those opened bags of chips would last at our house longer than a week!
Toffee, PB and butterscotch?! Yes, please!
I love seeing what combos I can make and I think the PB/butterscotch one is a keeper for future recipes!
