Dark Chocolate Wafer Toffee Cookies

Hi Everyone,

As you can see I am on a toffee kick.  I had some left over and thought I would make one of my favorite cookies.  Dark Chocolate Wafer Cookies.  I have posted a recipe very similar a while back, but this one is a tad different.  I used dark chocolate melting wafers instead of chocolate chips.  I never baked cookies with melting wafers and you know what?  They turned out great.  I didn’t use regular chocolate chips because I was out.  Nothing worse when your missing a main ingredient and you swear you were pretty stocked up on it.  Anyways,  melting wafers is a great way to sub for chocolate in a cookie.  I just took a cup of it and popped it in my food processor to make it into smaller pieces. I didn’t want whole wafers in my cookies.

The cookies are amazing. They are soft, chewy, sweet, crunchy and has the perfect crispy edges. They are sure to please toffee lovers. I used Heath Baking Bits, which can be found in the baking section of the grocery store. The only problem with them, is trying not to eat them straight from the package.

The recipe is pretty easy to make too. The only thing is, you need to chill the batter. The batter is quite soft, but that makes for a nice flat cookie. I cut back a bit on the sugar too. I know sugar gives it sweetness and crispness, but I needed to cut back a little. The recipe makes 72 cookies. You can’t beat that.

Since this recipe does make so many cookies, I took half the batch and froze them. Then I can grab a few for lunches. I try to make cookies, so my Husband has a sweet snack in his lunch. I took the other half to work to share with my co-workers. Nothing like sharing cookies with friends and family.

I thought I would share this recipe with you since it’s back to school season.  However, in my town, the kids went back to school the 3rd week of July.  That’s pretty crazy.  I couldn’t imagine sitting in class when it’s 100 degrees and sunny out.  Poor Kids!

Have a great weekend!

Toodles,

Jennifer
