These have become one of the most requested recipes from clients, and by popular demand, is now one of the standards in my celebratory cookie gift box to clients! These are also one of my son’s favorite cookies as well (oddly enough, my kids don’t really like cookies, so this is a big deal!).
What makes these so tasty is the little crunch from the toffee, the crispiness around the edges and the chewiness in the center and inside. They are a little trickie to get just right because you can’t see any browning on them when they’re in the oven as they’re already dark from the chocolate, so it’s easy to over cook them. The secret is to take them out of the oven when they still look underdone but you notice the little toffee chips are melted in some of the cookies. Enjoy!!
