You need to reinitialize col.resizable(); once new element added. Please check below working code:

$(function() {
  var cols = $(".col");


  cols.resizable({
    maxHeight: 20,
    minHeight: 20,
    distance: 5,
    handles: 'e',
    start: function() {
      console.log("I've started!");
    },
    stop: function() {
      console.log("I've stopped!");
    }


  });


  $("#addNew").on("click", function() {

    cols.filter(":last").after('
' + parseInt(cols.length + 1) + '
');
    
    cols = $(".col");
    cols.resizable({maxHeight: 20,
    minHeight: 20,
    distance: 5,
    handles: 'e'});

  });

});

.col {
  float: left;
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  background: #f00;
  margin-right: 1px;
}
.col.new {
  background: #0f0;
}
button {
  clear: left;
  display: block;
  margin-top: 10px;
}
