If you saw yesterday's blog post with that decadent hot
beverage, Sweater Weather Swirl (If not, you must! Click here.), you
may also have seen a pair of cookies next to the cup. I'd made those earlier in
the week, and found them the perfect accompaniment for my hot spiked cocoa.
For someone who claims they don't like chocolate chip cookies all that much, I tend to make a lot of variations. This is my latest, and I think greatest, because it incorporates two of my favorite candies into one delicious cookie. I'm talking chocolate chips, broken up Butterfinger bars, as well as chocolate covered English toffee bits. Doesn't that sound heavenly? I also added nuts, but you can decide on your own if that's an addition that you'd like to make. You might want to give these a try if you have Halloween candy left over, they freeze beautifully, so consider making miniature ones to add to your holiday cookie tray. Whatever you do, try these!
