Mini Chocolate Chips
I’ve used mini chocolate chips. You can easily substitute the same amount of regular chocolate chips or even chocolate chunks. Break up a chocolate bar, if you don’t have access to chips or pieces.
Heath Toffee Bits For Baking
Have you tried Heath candy bars? Here’s your opportunity to add that buttery, crunchy goodness to your cookies. The toffee is already broken into the perfect size bits to add to cookies. If you don’t have toffee bits, you can get that crunch from walnuts too. It obviously won’t have the same taste, but you will still get a delicious cookie.
If you’re unsure where to look for Heath Toffee Bits, have a look at the Hershey’s website for more information.
Pro Tip: If your cookies don’t drop from the cookie scoop easily, the likely reason is because the butter was too soft. Cover your raw cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about an hour then try again.
Softened Butter
You will need to soften the butter so you can mix it with the sugar and get it well incorporated. If you let the butter sit out too long, it will get too soft. While you will be able to mix in the sugars easily, you won’t be able to shape the cookies as easily.
If I just set the butter on the counter, it can take up to one and half hours to soften enough to run through the mixer. If you don’t want to wait, try a tall glass of warm (not hot) water. Place the butter in the glass and leave it for 5 minutes. Check every minute to see if it’s squishy enough.

Do you think these could be refrigerated before serving? Would they dry out overnight in the fridge?
I would personally prefer to keep them at room temperature. If you must refrigerate them, be sure to allow them to come to room temperature before serving. The butter and toffee harden in the refrigerator. Although there are chances of them drying out in the refrigeraor, I think it would take longer than a simple overnight. Enjoy!
