Everyone loves the classic peanut butter cookie.

This recipe is a spin on that memorable cookie from childhood with a little bit of a crunch with Heath Toffee bits mixed in and sprinkled on top. Best of all they whip up in no time at all.

The first time we had these cookies I came home from a long day at work to find my husband had looked up a Hershey's recipe and changed it a bit...he had baked a bunch of cookies and they were waiting for me cooling on the counter. I was both impressed and pleasantly surprised! We have dubbed the recipe to be his now but I gave it a go myself for this post and they don't disappoint.
