Crisp, delicate Skor chocolate chip cookies have a caramel-chocolate taste that is pretty exceptional. Freeze the dough in balls and bake them as needed. Likely nightly!
These cookies are essentially trumped up chocolate chip cookies with a little bit of healthiness in them. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I figure the oatmeal counts for something. In my humble opinion – and many others – they are wickedly good.
Here’s what I do with them to have a handy dessert at the drop of a hat. I make a full batch, bake a few for immediate eating and freeze the rest of the dough formed in to balls. Whenever I have a craving, need a little homemade birthday treat for someone or have guests over, I just bake as many as I need. Fresh, warm cookies for any occasion. Makes 48-60 cookies.
Tailor To Your Taste
- Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- Add 1/2 cup raisins for chopped dried cranberries.
- Leave out the skor toffee bits for plain chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.l
Make Ahead Skor Chocolate Chip Cookies
- The raw dough can be kept in the fridge for 5-6 days.
- Cookies can be baked and frozen in a sealed container for up to a month.
- Alternatively (my fave), roll small balls from the cookie dough, flash freeze them on a tray in the freezer for 30 minutes, then pile them into a sealed plastic bag or sealed container – remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months (some say up to a year is ok). When ready to use, bake in a preheated 375F oven for 10-14 minutes.
Skor Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup softened unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar (if you prefer less sweet, cut this down a bit)
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 package Skor/Heath toffee bits (about 1 - 1 1/4 cups)
- 1 1/2 packages chocolate chunks (or chocolate chips) - about 2 cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F
- MAKE COOKIE DOUGH: Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and well combined for about 2 minutes using an electric hand mixer and a large bowlAdd the egg and vanilla. Continue to beat for another 2 minutes.Add flour and baking soda by sifting it through a mesh strainer. Add oats. Beat mixture just until well combined. The mixture will be thick.Mix in the Skor bits and chocolate chunks by hand.
- FORM COOKIES: Drop by 1 inch lumps (for small cookies) and 2 inch lumps (for medium size cookies) onto a parchment lined cookie pan. If you don't have parchment, use foil and spray with oil. Flatten cookies a little if you want them crispier.
- BAKE: Bake for 8-12 minutes depending on the size of cookie and the texture you want (softer or crispier). Cool for a few minutes then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Dough will keep in fridge for 5-6 days.
- Cookies can be baked and frozen in a sealed container for up to a month
- Alternatively (I do this all the time), roll small balls from the cookie dough, flash freeze them on a tray in the freezer for 30 minutes, then pile them into a sealed plastic bag or sealed container - remove as much air as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months (some say up to a year is ok). Bake from frozen at 375F for 10-14 minutes.

Love these cookies and so did my family. I made a few modifications: cut the white sugar to 1/4 cup, used coconut oil instead of butter and only 1 package of chocolate chips . I really like the tip to freeze the extra dough in balls, ready to be baked. I love your recipes and the blog.
Great suggestions Judi. Glad you enjoyed them!
