I made these this morning and they are terrific! It took me awhile to find the choclate coated toffee bits but I am so glad I did. I used light cream cheese but otherwise made as posted. I made exactly 24 cookies using my cookie scoop. These are going on my cookie list for Christmas baking. Thanks so much for posting! -
Yummy! These were soooo soft and good. Had today off so decided to do some baking. Next time I would definitely use the whole bag of toffee chips instead of 1 cup. Other than that, perfect!

Fabulous cookies! I used Neufchatel cheese and do not think the lowered fat content hurt them at all. Rather than chopping candy bars, I took a shortcut and used Heath baking bits, although I didn't realize until too late the ones I was using didn't have any chocolate (as the candy bars would), but the cookies had a fantastic toffee flavor. I baked them on parchment, then just slid the parchment along with the cookies right onto the cooling rack. Thank you, Peggy Lynn, for sharing this delicious cookie recipe!
