Oatmeal Toffee Cookies

Oatmeal Toffee Cookies | Magnolia Days

It’s cookie time! When is it not cookie time? A day does not go by without me having a cookie. I confess they are not always homemade. Yikes! I know. I keep a box of Teddy Grahams in the pantry and give a couple to my hounds after lunch and dinner. (Did I mention I have very spoiled hounds?). Anyway, I will eat a few too. Every so often I want a good homemade ones. This week I decided to bake Oatmeal Toffee Cookies.

I am spring cleaning my pantry and freezer. Both have become so full and I need to use up the food I have on hand. I already used most of my supply of dried fruits for Mixed Berry Bread. Next to those fruits was a container of oats and a bag of toffee chips. I thought about making granola, then bars, and settled on cookies.

It’s a good thing the recipe makes 4 dozen. They were disappearing rather quickly. I handed one to my husband when I was baking and next thing I know I see him in the kitchen again and again and again. I laughed and said I hope you didn’t eat the pretty ones because I still have to take photos. A little while later he was at the cookies again. I asked if they were calling his name a bit too much. He said they are evil. I have to agree because they were relentlessly calling me too.

Do you have a pantry or freezer clean out time? It’s easy to put things away and sometimes too easy to forget to use them. A voice in my head (mom/dad) reminds me not to be wasteful of food. At least I have more room now after baking these wonderful oatmeal toffee cookies.
