These are phenomenal. My Mom said they were the best cookies she's ever had. Definitely the best combo of crispy and chewy. I did sub more butter for the shortening and added more chocolate chips than called for and used Heath Bar bits. Definitely a keeper recipe! Thanks Aimee!

Good base recipe! Skip the almond extract and add some instant coffee ... YUM!

This is a great basic cookie recipe for cookies with any type of chips in them.

Delicious. I chose this cookie because my husband requested a toffee cookie. OMG, it's delicious! He could barely speak between mouthfuls of fresh-baked cookies & a glass of milk. I followed the instructions as is, but I used heath bar chunks instead of almond brickle. It produced 30 small-medium sized chewy cookes, baked at exactly 9 minutes. I think it is my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe too, since I'm not a huge toffee fan. Thanks for the recipe, Aimee!

I recently made these for a party and they were gone in a flash. Even the one batch I left in the over a bit too long. Guests couldn't get enough.

This was a great recipe, I didn't give it five stars because I changed a few things. Many other reviews mentioned the recipe was too sweet, so I added 1/2 tsp of salt and less chocolate chips (I used regular size chips). My husband loved them! Other than the few minor changes, I highly recommend this recipe. Yum!

Great recipe! I used Heath Toffee bits which I think is much easier and cuts down on prep. The co-workers loved them and were fighting for the last cookie! Thanks for sharing a yummy recipe!

This was a good recipe but I was expecting more of a toffee flavor, which I really didn't get. I'll either add more brickle or I'll chop up heath bars like suggested by other reviewers. I'm also going to try some espresso powder in the mix to see if I can evoke the same flavor as Ben and Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch.

Good cookie recipe, though I think my modifications made for a too-sweet cookie. Since I doubled the recipe, I ended up using about four ounces more of the brickle chips than was called for, this made for an ultra-sweet cookie that was difficult to remove from the baking sheet. Next time, I will follow the recipe exactly. Also, my personal preference would be for the larger, bittersweet chocolate chips as opposed to the mini semi-sweet. Great recipe though, and thank you for sharing it.

These cookies are very tasty and the toffee is an exciting bonus! I made these for a church luncheon and had requests to bring them the next time. They always ask if I brought my chocolate chip cookies again!

I would make these again but next time I'd cut down a little on the choc chips. It seems like there are more chips than dough. But if you are a chocoholic than it's probably great for you! I just love the toffee. Oh, and I used Heath toffee bits because every other recipe called for either/or so I figured theya re the same as that brickle stuff (I don't know what that is, lol)
