Dark Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies

Dark Chocolate Toffee Chip CookiesIMG_6284

Are you cool with me moving on from an entire month of completely healthy eating with no desserts? I sure hope so, because these cookies are just begging for you to make them… and eat them. It’s a groundbreaking concept, I know, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

No joke, these might be the best cookies that I have ever created. That is precisely why I featured them for dessert in my Valentine episode. Dreamy guy, dreamy date, dreamy dessert, right? That’s what I’m talkin’ about! Plus, what’s more romantic than dark chocolate cookies hot out of the oven? Well, I guess I can think of a few things more romantic…

I’m going to provide you with a warning: DO NOT EAT THE COOKIE DOUGH. Seriously, not even a little taste. You will not be able to stop and you’ll find yourself yielding 4 cookies instead of 36. I totally don’t know that from personal experience, though. Totally hypothetical. Totally.

These gooey-in-the-center-crispy-on-the-edges cookies are sent over the top with the addition of Heath Toffee Bits and Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate chips (which are my latest discovery and current obsession). They’ll pull you out of any funk and get you dancing and singing show tunes at the most inappropriate times, but you won’t care because you’ll be eating these little bits of Heaven!

Dark Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies

  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup White Sugar
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. Sea Salt
  • 3/4 tsp. Baking Soda
  • 1 Cup Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Cup Heath Toffee Bits

Preheat oven to 375°

In your mixer, mix together butter and sugars until creamy. Add egg and egg whites one at a time until well incorporated. Add vanilla.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda.

Slowly add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients while the mixer is still going.

Add chocolate chips and toffee bits.

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat mat, place rounded tablespoon-sized scoops of dough about 2 inches apart.

Place in the oven for 8 minutes or until edges are just barely beginning to brown.

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes before moving onto a wire rack.

So, what are you doing for Valentine’s Day? I already know for a fact that mine will involve a screening of Warm Bodies, which I have now seen 3 times and I just can’t get enough of. But we’ll talk more about that later ;)

      What a nice thing to say :) The trick is to make them and give them away as quickly as you possibly can. Haha. Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
