What Do Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies Taste Like?
Toffee chocolate chip cookies taste like a classic buttery chocolate chip cookie studded with pockets of crunchy-then-melting caramelized toffee that add deep butterscotch, brown-sugar, and lightly salted-caramel notes.

What it means
- Toffee bits are caramelized butter and sugar, so they contribute a toasted, buttery-caramel flavor that plain chocolate chips don't.
- In the oven the bits partly melt, leaving chewy-crisp caramel pockets and slightly crisp, lacy edges.
- The buttery sweetness plus a touch of salt gives a salted-caramel-like effect alongside the chocolate.
