Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies

Do you remember the Brown Butter Chocolate-Stuffed Toffee Chip Cookie from last week?  Remember those?  The cookies that create that God awful muffin top that sits on the top of your waistline around your jeans.  Yeah those....  Let's refer to those as Bonnie.  As we all know, Bonnie had a partner in crime, Clyde.   Allow me to introduce Clyde.

Clyde looks innocent enough as all good criminals do and then you bite into it.

The fudgy chocolaty texture and the crunch of the chocolate covered toffee chips puts you into a place that is pure chocolaty bliss.

Allow yourself to take a moment to roll your eyes up into your head Paula Deen style while you savor the chocolaty goodness going on inside your mouth.

Let your family know that they may need to leave you alone for a moment or so while you savor the flavor.

Did I mention that I cut up a few semi-sweet chocolate bars and mixed those up inside as well?  I didn't?  Yeah, I went there!  You can see a chunk of chocolate in the picture above.

I don't know what came over me that day.  I was all up in my cookies bizness.

If you're looking for a cookie that will put all other cookies to shame look no further my friends.  You have found it.

Seriously, this cookie is uber quick to throw together and bakes up in no time so they are perfect for parties when you're running low on time which was the case on this particular weekend.  I needed another cookie to whip up for a BBQ with friends and I had remembered Erin from Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts had posted this cookie a day or two before.  Your guests will never know that you used a cake mix for this cookie either.  They are fudgy with an almost brownie like texture and not at all cakey.  You will be impressed and so will your guests!
