Let's Make Some Heath Shortbread!
I’ve been on a roll making shortbread lately. First came my Scottish Shortbread. Then my delicious Lemon Shortbread cookies. After that, I made some yummy Almond Shortbread.
As you can see, I really love my shortbread! I’m particularly fond of it because it’s so simple! That’s why I decided to offer this Heath Shortbread as one of my “Short and Sweet” recipes, one that doesn’t burden you down with lots of text to read.
If you're a fan of butterfinger candy bars, you're going to love this cookie bar. It's got all of those same flavors, as well as that crisp "bite" you enjoy in a candy bar. Delicious!
So, what are we waiting for? Let’s dive right in! I found this recipe at Life, Love, and Good Food, a fun recipe site. I only made one switch: I had salted butter on hand so I used that and skipped the pinch of salt suggested in that original recipe.
Heath Shortbread Ingredients

You’ll find a full printable recipe card at the bottom of this post but here’s a look at what you’ll need.
- room temperature butter (salted or unsalted, your choice)
- brown sugar, packed
- egg yolks
- vanilla extract
- all-purpose flour
- Heath chocolate covered toffee bits, divided
- chocolate chips
How to Make Heath Cookie Bars
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spray a 9x13-inch pan with non-stick spray. Place a piece of parchment paper across the bottom and sides for easy lifting. Set aside.
Cream butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and brown sugar and mix well.


Add egg yolks and beat until incorporated. Now add in the flour. You’ll have a crumbly mix.
Add half of the package of chocolate covered bits. Mix well. With slightly dampened hands, press the mixture into the prepared pan.


Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.


Allow to sit for about five minutes, then spread with an off-set spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits on top.


Cool for about twenty minutes and then cut into squares. Serve and enjoy!


These are delicious, flaky shortbread squares, which you will love serving your family and guests, alike.
