Recipe Tips

  • If you do not have chocolate bars handy you can replace them with chocolate chips or chocolate chunks. You will need about 1 cup of either (or up to 1 1/2 cups) depending on how much chocolate you want. you can choose between milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate depending on what you want and either one should taste great with this combination of flavors. Personally, I like the milk chocolate flavors paired with the toffee.
  • Make sure that you allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet before trying to transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The time spent on the baking sheet helps the cookies to finish the baking process and harden up enough that they are more stable when transported to the rack. If you don’t wait you risk your cookies falling apart or buckling when the spatula slides underneath, giving you an accordion-like appearance.

FAQs

Can I use almond powder instead of an almond meal?

To make sure that these cookies turn out perfectly I do not recommend that you use almond powder, whatever that is. That said, you could use almond flour instead of almond meal as the two are pretty similar and there is not much of a difference between the two. You can also just omit the almond meal and use regular all-purpose flour instead.

How long are chocolate toffee cookies good for?

These cookies can be kept stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also choose to freeze them for up to 3 months if desired, in an airtight container. Make sure to store them after the cookies have cooled completely and the chocolate has set so that they don’t stick together. If you freeze the cookies, you can just set them on the counter for a few minutes or hours to thaw and come to room temperature before eating.

What does almond flour do to cookies?

Almond flour or almond meal are used in baking recipes to help give a nice natural sweetness to the treats. It also helps to add a nice richness in taste as well. Not only that but using almond flour can also help to retain moisture for a nicer bite. I’m sure we can all appreciate that, right?

    I was toying around with cookie dough last night! I made toffee cookies, but your recipe is funny because I did start out with the idea that I was going to use almond meal. I decided not to because I went with a cup of brown sugar and didn’t think it would go well together. I may blog it if I get a chance to take pictures of them…

      I’m not sure? I’ve never seen almond powder? It might be finer than the meal. I purchased the meal at Trader Joes.

    Great idea using the almond meal, Tanya! For me, though, it’s all about the toffee. I’m a chocoholic, to be sure, but have always enjoyed toffee. Including bits of it in these cookies is genius!! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

      Amy, I found Almond Meal at Trader Joes. Whole Food would probably have it too or check the healthful section of your grocery.
