Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies
These Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies are crispy-chewy, buttery, sweet, a little salty and absolutely to die for! The only thing that can make a great Chocolate Chip Cookie better is the addition of rich, caramelly toffee pieces. These cookies are the perfect indulgence for Christmas, but truly great any time year.

Notes
- *For gluten free cookies, substitute an all-purpose gluten free cup for cup mix such as Cup-4-Cup
- ** If using a a candy thermometer, cook until 300 degrees. If your toffee burns or separates, you will need to start over, so make sure you take your time and don't rush.
- ***Placing a piece of toffee into each ball of cookie dough ensures even distribution, but if you want you can just mix all the toffee pieces into the dough with the chocolate. If you'd like to freeze the dough, place the dough balls on a parchment lined baking sheet (you can fit them all on one), then freeze. Once frozen, place the dough balls in a zip-top bag and store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
- ****Pan banging is optional, but creates a better texture in my opinion. If skipping this step, just bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or to your desired level of doneness.
- If the toffee leaches out of the cookies after baking, use a spatula while the cookies are still hot to push the toffee back in and reshape the cookie into a circle.
