Heath Cookies
My mom used to make these around Christmas or New Years every year and they have definitely become one of my favorites as well. They are so chewy and easy to make as well. I literally can’t stop eating them when I make them. They also make a lot so they would be perfect for a party!I love how the bits of toffee added in the cookies make it a little extra chewy and sweet! They go great with coffee or just by themselves too! They are always a huge hit when I make them and they tend to go very fast! Plus, this is a very easy recipe and doesn't take up too much time since you don't really have to decorate these like sugar cookies!
Directions For Heath Cookies:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Once it is mixed, you can then set it aside. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla and mix until the mixture is creamy. Then, add in 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir to combine. You can then add in the rest of the flour mixture. Once it is about halfway combined, add the heath bits and mix until all the ingredients are mixed together. Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Use a Tablespoon scoop your dough and place the balls onto the cookie sheet. They will spread a little bit so make sure they are spread out, at least 2 inches. Bake for 10-11 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Be sure to leave enough room when placing them on the cookie sheet because these cookies tend to spread out a lot.
All done! I let them cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before putting them away. That way they don't stick together in the container.
