Easy Icebox Cookies: 6 ingredient slice and bake cookie recipe
Learn how to make easy 6 ingredient toffee cookies! Follow along with this easy step by step toffee butter cookies recipe. This is one of my favourite slice and bake recipes, also known as icebox or refrigerator cookies. The dough is chilled and sliced before baking, no rolling required! These easy toffee cookies are always a crowd pleaser, and one of my most requested recipes. They can also be made ahead of time, the dough can be refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months! I almost always have this dough in my freezer at all times of the year! Make sure to join us next week for a new easy recipe!!
Toffee Cookie Ingredients
1 Cup butter (softened to room temperature)
1 Cup sugar
1 Large egg
1/2 Tbs vanilla extract
2 Cups + 2 Tbs All purpose flour
1 Cup toffee bits
Toffee Cookie Directions
In the bowl of your stand mixer, or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer combine butter and sugar. Mix on low until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add in your egg and vanilla and continue mixing on low until the mixture is fluffy and pale in colour, around 2 minutes. Add in the flour and mix until just combined. Next, add the toffee bits. Mix on low until just incorporated into the dough. Place 1/2 of the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap. Form the dough into a cylinder that is about one and a half inches in diameter. Repeat with the second half of your dough. Chill dough for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Remove plastic wrap and slice into 1/4 inch slices. Place onto the parchment lined cookie sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just golden brown. Cool on the pan for a few minutes before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling.
This recipe makes 40-48 cookies. I usually save one of my portions of dough for another day. This dough can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. Just move it to the fridge for 4 hours and slice and bake. Enjoy!

0:35 Browning the butter
1:47 Mixing in the wet ingredients
3:39 Mixing in the dry ingredients
4:53 Adding the chocolate chips
5:44 Forming the logs
7:55 Slicing the cookies to bake
10:31 Tasting the cookies
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup brown butter, cooled
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow to bubble and foam. After about 5 minutes, the foaming will lessen and the bottom of the skillet will show brown solids with the butter smelling nutty and looking golden. Scrape into a bowl and cool.
- Combine the cooled brown butter and sugars until evenly mixed, 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix to combine. Scrape sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix just to combine. Add rolled oats and chocolate chips. Mix to incorporate and finish by hand to ensure it is well mixed.
- Divide dough in half and shape each half into a log. Use parchment paper or plastic wrap to compact the dough. Do not worry about over compacting. Once in tight uniform logs, twist the ends and place in the refrigerator or airtight container until firm, 2 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice prepared cookies into ¼-inch thick and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with Malden sea salt. Bake until the edges are set and the centers are just soft, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on pan for 5 minutes. Finish cooling on a wire rack.

Recipes
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients: Basic Icebox Cookie Dough
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces and at room temperature
1 cup (130 g) icing sugar, sifted
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla extract
2 ½ cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
½ tsp (2.5 g) salt
Directions
1. Using electric beaters or in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until smooth. Add the icing sugar and start on low speed to work it in, and then increase the speed to medium-high beating until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Add the flour and salt and beat until the dough comes together. Prepare the cookies as below.
ORANGE MARMALADE CRUMBLE BARS
Makes 1 8-inch (20 cm) square pan
Cuts into 36 cookie bars
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Bake Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
1 recipe icebox cookie dough
zest of 1 orange
1 cup (250 mL) orange marmalade
icing sugar, for dusting
Directions
1. Add the orange zest to the cookie dough, when beating the butter and icing sugar together. Shape the dough into 2 discs, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C). Lightly grease and line an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan with parchment paper so that the paper comes up the sides.
3. Use a box grater to grate the chilled cookie dough. Press about two-thirds of this into the bottom of the prepared pan and then spread the marmalade over top. Sprinkle the remaining grated cookie dough over the marmalade and press gently. Bake for about 45 minutes, until you can see browning at the edges. Cool the pan on a rack completely before dusting with icing sugar and cutting into squares.
APRICOT LEMON RUGELACH
Makes 4 dozen cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 18 minutes
Ingredients
1 recipe Icebox cookie dough
zest of 1 lemon
¾ cup (175 mL) apricot jam
1 egg whisked with 2 Tbsp (30 mL) water, for brushing
cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
1. Add the lemon zest to the cookie dough when beating the butter and icing sugar together. Shape the dough into 6 small discs, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
3. Lightly knead the first disc of dough to soften it just a little. Roll the disc out into a circle roughly 8-inches (20 cm) across on a lightly floured surface, and trim the edges. Cut the circle into 8 wedges. Spoon a little jam at the wide end of each wedge and then roll the dough up, croissant-like in shape. Place the cookies on the trays, leaving 1 ½-inches (4.5 cm) between them. Repeat with the remaining discs of dough.
4. Brush the cookies with eggwash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake the cookies for about 18 minutes, until the cookies brown a little just at the edges. Cool the cookies on the tray before removing to store in an airtight container.
The cookies will keep for up to a week.
RASPBERRY LINZER COOKIES
Makes about 3 dozen sandwich cookies
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Bake Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients
1 recipe Icebox cookie dough
1 tsp (5 mL) almond extract
icing sugar, for dusting
¾ cup (175 mL) raspberry jam
Directions
1. Add the almond extract to the cookie dough at the same time as adding the vanilla extract. Shape the dough into 2 discs and chill for at least 2 hours before rolling.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C) and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
3. Knead the first disc of dough to soften it a little and then roll it out on a lightly floured surface to just about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Use a 2-inch (5 cm) cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as you can. Use a small cutter or even a pastry tip to cut a hole in the centre of half of these cookies. Arrange the cookies with a hole on one tray and the cookies without a hole on the second tray, leaving an inch (2.5 cm) between them. Repeat with the second disc and any remaining scraps of dough.
4. Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes (keep an eye on the cookies with holes – they may take a minute less to bake) until they just start to show signs of colouring at the edges. Cool the cookies on the tray before assembling.
5. Dust the cookies with the holes generously with icing sugar while on their baking tray. Spread a little of the raspberry jam on the bottom of a cookie without a hole and sandwich it with a dusted one, pressing gently. Repeat with the remaining cookies, and store them in an airtight container or well-wrapped (single layer is best).
The cookies will keep for a week.
