Guess who has tickets to the Cavs game tonight?!?! This girl does!! I’m sooooo excited!! I’ve never been to a game before, let alone a playoff game. Cleveland is long overdue for a title – of any type. 
For some reason I was craving an oatmeal cookie but also toffee. I absolutely LOVE toffee!! Especially dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with pistachio’s. Oh yum!! I couldn’t decide if I just wanted to make some toffee brownies and save the oatmeal cookie for another day or vice versa. So then I decided, “why not just join the two? Not a new idea by any means, but I’ve never had such a cookie. This recipe was really good!! I feel like I say that a lot, but it’s always true.
These cookies are chewy, sweet, and quick to disappear. I added a bit more toffee to mine because I feel like when you buy the Heath bags of toffee already in bits, they seem to get lost. This combination of flavors is a must try if you haven’t already. Even 4 or 5 days later, they are still really chewy.
Hope everyone is enjoying the start of another week!! LET’S GO CAVS!!
