Oh my gosh you guys, these toffee chocolate chip cookies are so yummy!! I normally make my crispy thin chocolate chip cookies for the holidays but I thought I would try something new. I was going for thicker, bigger and better and they are just that! The little bits of toffee add a bit of crunch to the chewy soft cookie.
We had a few friends over last week for a cookie exchange and I made the toffee chocolate chip cookies and some sugar cookies for the kiddos to decorate. I totally cheated on the sugar cookies - which is A- OK in my book. I found pre-made and cut sugar cookies that were ready to bake from Target. The sugar cookies were a total time saver and no one knew any different.
I did my best to keep it simple and just had a few nibbles to eat. I made popcorn, set out some Pretzel Crisps and made an easy spinach dip (recipe coming soon!). For the drinks I made a White Chocolate Mocha with a side of Peppermint Schnapps, Hot Cocco and some sparkling Bon Affair.
I do hope you try this new cookie recipe and let me know what you think!
