Grandma’s Oatmeal Chocolate Raisin Toffee Cookies remind me of my grandmother. Made with chocolate chips, toffee bits, raisins and sometimes nuts as well.
She always did. So to me that’s what you do. It just tastes right to me! No matter what you add, or plain, these cookies always put a smile on everyone’s face!

Add any combination of raisins, chocolate chips, toffee bits and/or nuts. Stir with a spoon or on low speed.

Isn’t there more sugar to this? White sugar? Seems this was omitted! Every other recp. calls for granulated sugar also.
If you have a moment take a look at the video. These cookies are made without white sugar. Really. They are delicious too! Take care and all the best. Karin
