Chocolate Chip Toffee Thumbprint Cookies
Chocolate Chip Toffee Thumbprint Cookies are a soft, buttery cookie filled with chocolate chips and chocolate toffee bits, baked, and have a Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers pressed into the center. These cookies will melt in your mouth.
I saw the Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers in the store last week and grabbed several packages. Fall is the season to start baking cookies, and I knew these had to be included.
These chocolate wafers are so creamy, and are the absolute best chocolate. It was hard not to keep eating them straight from the bag.
I love making chocolate chip cookies as the base for a lot of my cookies. The options are then endless, by adding other kinds of chips, nuts, candies, and fruits, you can create so many desserts.

INGREDIENTS:
All-purpose flour
Baking soda
Kosher salt
Butter
Sugar
Brown sugar
Vanilla
Eggs
Chocolate chips
Toffee bits
Milk chocolate melting wafers
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the flour, soda and salt: set aside.
-
In a large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth and well combined. Beat in the vanilla and eggs until well combined.
-
Beat in the flour mixture in 3 parts, beating only enough to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips and toffee bits.
-
Using a small scoop or spoon, place rounded cookies onto baking sheets. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown.
Remove cookies from the oven, allow to set on pans about 5 minutes. I under bake my cookies a little, so that the cookies turn out a little softer. May bake longer if crispier cookies are preferred.
Transfer to a cooling rack. Press a chocolate wafer into the center of each cookie, and then allow to cool until the chocolate becomes hardened again.
Why Everyone Loves These Cookies
The toffee flavor with the chocolate chips, and chocolate in the center, blend so well. This is a perfect cookie for fall.
This recipe makes a large amount, so they are good for serving a crowd.
They can be made ahead of time and frozen.
The texture has crispy edges, a soft center, and a burst of soft, melted chocolate from the wafer.
Frequently Asked Questions/Helpful Tips
Do I need to chill the dough before baking?
YES. This keeps the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
Could I use the colored wafers in the center?
YES. Any of the wafer that are made to use in baking would work just fine. The colors would be fun for different events.
