Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 box fudge cake mix
  • 2 eggs {whisked}
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits {divided}

Caramel Frosting

  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3 1/2 cups brown sugar {packed}
  • 1/2 cup + 1/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Combine cookie ingredients in large bowl and mix until completely incorporated {I like to use a hand held mixer}.  NOTE:  Dough will be thick. Add 1/4 cup of toffee bits and mix until it is incorporated into the dough.
  • Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon}, scoop cookies onto a parchment {or silicone mat} lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, remove from oven and let cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.  Repeat until all of the dough is baked.

Caramel Icing

  • In a medium saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, evaporated milk and salt. Melt and bring to boil over medium heat. Once it is at a rolling boil, continue to cook for 10 minutes while stirring occasionally. You will notice that it will thicken slightly. After 10 minutes, remove from heat, add vanilla and stir.
  • To cool the frosting, set the saucepan into a bowl with ice. Be sure that you stir it constantly because it will thicken quickly this way. You could also do this at room temperature. Once you are to a good consistency, pour or spoon the frosting over the cookies {working one cookie at a time}. You may have to use a spoon and spread it out if you want the entire cookie covered. Immediately sprinkle with toffee bits.
  • Serve immediately your toffee sheet cake cookies if you want a gooey and sticky cookie or let them set up for a couple of hours if you prefer them to be more set up. Store cookies at room temperature for 4-5 days.
