Chocolate Toffee Cookies

These chewy brownie like cookies with the added crunch of both walnuts and toffee are sure to get rave reviews. Make a batch for your friends and family. I bet you will be asked for the recipe from absolutely everyone who takes a bite. Seriously, these Chocolate-Toffee Cookies are one of the best sweets in my repertoire.

Prepping the Dough

The cookies bake up better when the dough is chilled. Put the dough in the refrigerator at least an hour before scooping.
Use a medium cookie disher to scoop out evenly sized dough balls.
I find the cookie disher has to be rinsed out frequently to prevent the dough from sticking.
Alternatively, just use a spoon and scoop out rounded tablespoonfuls of dough.
Roll the balls between your palms to make them symmetrical, then use a damp finger to press down any spikes. This is a totally optional step, but be forewarned that your hands will be a chocolate mess!

Baking, Cooling and Garnishing Tips

If you’re so inclined, add a few pieces of walnuts and toffee onto the top of the cookies when they come out of the oven. This cues everybody to what is inside the cookies. My husband would steer clear seeing any sign of a nut!
Giant cookies can be made by baking up 1/4 cupfuls of dough for about 15 minutes. See the above photo. The original recipe was for BIG cookies!
If your cookies aren’t circular when they come out of the oven, use your spatula to gently tap the sides of the cookies into shape while the cookies are hot.
Let these cookies cool completely on parchment paper so they have a chance to firm up.
Do not over bake as these brownie-like cookies are best when soft and chewy, not crisp.
