Packed with dark chocolate chunks and buttery toffee bits, they strike the perfect balance between indulgent and satisfying. Ideal for those who love a bakery-style cookie that’s bold, flavorful, and just a little bit over the top.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks

1 cup toffee bits or chopped toffee bars

Flaky sea salt, optional for topping

Instructions

1. Cut the cold butter into chunks and beat with brown and granulated sugar until creamy but thick. Do not overmix.

2. Add eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until just incorporated.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until a thick dough forms.

5. Fold in the chocolate chunks and toffee pieces evenly.

6. Use a large cookie scoop to form dough balls. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place dough balls on a lined baking sheet.

8. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are set and centers are slightly underbaked.

9. While warm, sprinkle cookies with flaky sea salt if desired.

10. Cool on tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Using cold butter keeps the cookies thick and helps them hold their shape.

For best results, use Dutch-processed cocoa for deep chocolate flavor and rich color.

Don’t overbake—take them out while slightly underdone for that iconic gooey center.
