I was not sure of how to rate this recipe, because I really did not like the cookies with frosting, I used skor bits for half the dough and chocolate chips for the other half. The one with skor bits deserved atleast 3 stars, but the ones with chocolate chips in it deserves atleast 10 stars (I wish I could press the button twice!). I already had a thick and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, and now I found a crisp one as well that is to die for!! I will be using this as my crisp chocolate chip cookies from now on. Thank you so much for the recipe ms_bold!!

The cookies have a great toffee flavor and are so soft. The frosting is rich and creamy. And when they're put together - yum! Thanks justcallmejulie!

These are the most amazing cookies...ever. They look beautiful, but that's nothing compared to the taste! Yum! My mom can't stop raving about them. I can certainly see why they're your favorite cookies! Thanks so much for sharing this star of a recipe. :)
