    These are so delicious! They taste just like a candy bar, only better because they're a decadent, chewy cookie. I think my baking powder was old, so they turned out a little flat, but they still were incredibly chewy. I will definitely be making these again.

    Giant Bittersweet Chocolate Toffee Cookies, This recipe from Bon Appetit appeared in the cooking section of our paper last Wednesday, and after reading the description, I knew I must make them. They live up to the hype… “there are times when too much of a good thing is never enough, when the entire bag of chocolate chips you have stuffed in the cupboard, ostensibly for baking, only serves to intensify your craving and ratchet up your crazy factor. I’d demand one of these cookies for my last supper. Let’s be clear: you don’t waste these cookies on your kids. You make them for a dinner party for a bunch of foodie friends”… I even loved the BATTER of these cookies, and the cookies were as delicious, as promised. However, a friend made a batch, substituting some ingredients and they were too cloyingly sweet….using premium dark chocolate is key! The original recipe did not include chocolate chips, and the food writer made the addition of walnuts optional. I added both, but instead of chips, used chunks of the same quality chocolate that used in the batter. This was my favourite new recipe this season..chocolate nirvana!, These are so delicious! They taste just like a candy bar, only better because they’re a decadent, chewy cookie. I think my baking powder was old, so they turned out a little flat, but they still were incredibly chewy. I will definitely be making these again., These are like chocolate mountains, with toffee-lava spilling out of them! Simple to make really!, and super decadent, they’ll please any chocolate lover out there – I had one lady swoon and moan Yes, really!. Mine look quite different than the other pictures, and the only thing different about mine, are that used Skor bars, instead of Heath, as Heath are not readily available in Canada. Oh, then there was the walnut incident. Can you believe I burned the walnuts? I swear, my oven is not well lately! In any case, I had a look around and found I had roasted chopped hazelnuts which I knew would pair well with chocolate, so used those. These cookies are BIG yes, I know they say giant! and I found the batter almost too stiff after a couple of hours in the fridge. Seems my fridge is working well… I’m headed to the US at in a few days, and I plan to pick up some Heath Bars, and give this another try to see how they differ. Great recipe, Sweet Baboo – thanks for posting this gem! Made for PRMR Tag.
