Chewy Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies

By Courtney 42 Comments

These Chewy Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies are one of my best cookies to date. Soft and chewy on the inside with a crunchy texture on the outside. They’re just my favorite!

I first wrote this post over 5 years ago. Since then, this recipe has become a STSL favorite and, by far, one of my most popular.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies

So it occurred to me that it probably wouldn’t hurt to give the photos a little bit of a makeover. Because while I’m certainly no food photographer, I will say my photography skills have improved at least a little bit over the years. ;)

These cookies are everything. They’re soft and chewy on the inside, which makes the extra crunch of the Heath bits even more yummy. And the slight crunch of the edges just give this cookie an A+ in my book.

IMG_1354

I’ve made them with Heath bars with without. I’ve made them with chocolate chunks, I’ve made them with mini chocolate chips. I’ve even made them with a mix of peanut butter and chocolate chips.

And while they’re all delicious, the Heath always wins. Every. single. time.

I will say, make sure you don’t over bake these. Slightly undercooking them is the key to their success.

So even though they may look a little undone when you take them out of the oven, just promise me you’ll let them sit for a few minutes.

And promise me you’ll make these cookies ASAP? :)

    How do you get the chocolate chips to not melt when you stir them into the batter? The cookies turned out tasting like they are supposed to (I think!) but there were no whole chocolate chips in mine like the cookies in your pictures! :)

      October 21, 2012 at 11:48 am

      Hmmm, I don't know? I never ran into that problem! Maybe I take a little longer to get my batter together so it had cooled down a bit by then?

        Thanks for replying!! Yeah I was actually in the process of making the cookies when I made that comment last night so with my second batch to go in the oven I added more chips to the batter and they stayed whole! Next time I will just wait a little bit longer before I add my chocolate chips. The cookies were still a hit with my husband and kiddos. :)

    Just made these amazing cookies. As I started I realized I didn't have enough brown sugar. Added 1 cup White sugar to 1 Tbls of Organic Molasses to create the brown sugar. I had miniature heath bar candies so I just chopped those up. Baked for 11 Minutes as I prefer a chewy cookie. They are fantastic. Thank you for sharing. I will watch for the big after Halloween Candy sale and pick up some more heath bar candy to make these again. Again, thank you for sharing.

    I just made these tonight for a part of my Christmas goodie package at family gatherings. They turned out really good! I substituted the Heath Bar bits for just the Heath bit o brickle toffee bits and kept the chocolate chips. I thought they would have been too chocolaty but I feel they could have used a little more. I'll try it with regular Heath bits next time. Thank you for this recipe! I'm sure it will become a favorite!

    Great recipe! I can see how you would burn these because they are much whiter/lighter in color than regular chocolate chip cookies. You have to trust that these are done in 13 minutes or so. You can tell by the cracks along the edges that they are done. I give this recipe 4 stars!! We just made these and the are delicious!

    I have to say this is the BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I have found in a long time! I love the addition of the Heath bar, but also the option to really just add whatever you want to the cookie, ,or just leave it plain! I even live at a high altitude in Denver, and these still come out perfectly chewy yet crispy and always delicious. This will be my go-to staple base for a chocolate chip cookie from now on. Thank you!!!

    Followed recipe to the letter. I did cook them about 3 extra minutes and they were still amazing. I am glad I did that (so I know) because I think they would have been chewier without it. Trust the recipe. Great for the chocoholic in your life.

    Wow, made these cookies just now and followed the recipe to a "T", These cookies are scrumptious little morsels that melt in your mouth. Everyone in the family kept raving how good they were. These cookies do not disappoint! Thanks for sharing a recipe that works because I had made someone else's cookies and it was a huge flop with my family. Your cookies definitely helped me redeem my cookie status. Thanks for sharing. These are bomb!

    Courtney, I love my cookies soft on the inside, so this recipe intrigues me. You cannot find fault with any dessert that has chocolate chips. What a great update to a classic cookie.
