Easy Skor Cookies Recipe

So you’re craving something sweet but also feeling kinda lazy? Yep, I’ve been there… yesterday. And nothing hits the “treat me now” button faster than easy Skor cookies—crispy, buttery, chocolatey perfection that takes basically zero effort. Honestly, these might be the only cookies that reward procrastinators.

Why This Recipe is Awesome

Look, I love a fancy dessert as much as the next person, but sometimes I just need a cookie that doesn’t test my emotional stability. These easy Skor cookies are:

• Ridiculously simple — like, “did a toddler develop this recipe?” simple.
• Loaded with buttery toffee bits that make you look like you tried way harder than you did.
• Made with ingredients that don’t require a special trip to the store (because we all know grocery shopping is a trap).
• Basically idiot-proof. And trust me, even I couldn’t mess them up.

If you can stir, scoop, and not burn your house down, you’re already qualified.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Grab these goodies and let’s cause some delicious chaos:

• 1 cup butter, softened (softened… not melted. We’re making cookies, not soup.)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups Skor toffee bits (aka the reason these cookies exist)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, you actually have to. Don’t wait until the dough is ready—your future self will thank you.
2. Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl. Beat until fluffy. This step is basically giving your butter a spa day.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix until everything looks smooth and unified—like a well-behaved cookie family.
4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Keep it simple.
5. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until combined. Don’t overthink it. Don’t overmix it. Just vibes.
6. Fold in the Skor toffee bits. This is the moment everything becomes magical.
7. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment. Leave space—they spread like they pay rent.
8. Bake for 9–11 minutes until the edges are just golden. Don’t wait for them to look fully cooked; they firm up as they cool.
9. Cool for 5–10 minutes, unless you enjoy burning your tongue (no judgment—been there too).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping the preheat. Rookie mistake. Your cookies will bake unevenly and judge you silently.
• Melting the butter instead of softening it. That’s how you get pancake cookies. Cute… but wrong.
• Overbaking. These cookies lie—they look underdone even when they’re perfect. Trust the process.
• Using too many Skor bits. Yeah, it’s possible. The cookies will fall apart like your Monday motivation.

Alternatives & Substitutions

Feeling fancy or rebellious? Try these:

• No Skor bits? Use Heath toffee bits, chopped toffee bars, or even caramel chips. It’s all delicious.
• Want more texture? Add chopped pecans or walnuts—just don’t blame me when you eat half the batch.
• Gluten-free? Use a 1:1 GF baking flour. These cookies actually behave surprisingly well IMO.
• No brown sugar? You could use all white sugar, but your cookies will lose their chewy soul. Choose wisely.

FAQs

Can I freeze the dough?

Absolutely. Roll it into balls first, freeze, then bake later. It’s like gifting your future self cookies.

Do I have to chill the dough?

Nope! This recipe is the chaotic good of cookie recipes—no chilling required.

Can I make them bigger?

Of course. Monster cookies? Go wild. Just add a couple extra minutes to the bake time.

Why are my cookies flat?

Did you melt the butter? Be honest. Or maybe your baking soda is older than your Wi-Fi router.

Can I add chocolate chips?

Yes, and you should. Chocolate + toffee = emotional support cookies.

What if I only have salted butter?

Totally fine. Just reduce the added salt to a pinch.

Do these stay soft?

Yes! Store them in an airtight container, and they’ll stay soft and chewy for days—if they last that long.

Final Thoughts

There you go—easy Skor cookies that are fast, fun, and freakishly delicious. Seriously, once you make these, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with complicated desserts. So go whip up a batch, share them, hoard them, or eat them all while watching your favorite show.
