This week has been filled with a variety of desserts and sweet treats, everything from Peanut Butter S’mores Bites, Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel Bites, to White Chocolate Popcorn, so why not end the week with… more sweets?!? This time around I decided to go with a simple cookie recipe that’s overloaded with chocolate. Being the chocolate fanatic that I am, there can never be too much chocolate in a dessert! These Double Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies are crispy on the edges but soft and chewy in the center. Not only is the cookie itself chocolate, it’s also stuffed with chocolate chips, and crushed up Heath Toffee Bars that consist of buttery toffee and more chocolate!

You will start with a basic cookie dough (flour, baking soda, salt, eggs, vanilla, butter, sugar, etc.), then you’ll add cocoa powder to make them chocolatey! If you have dutch process cocoa powder, use it, if not, regular cocoa powder is fine.

Once the dough is made (it’s a thick cookie dough!), you will fold in some goodies! We’ll start with some Heath Bar pieces.

If you’ve never seen a Heath Bar before, this is what it looks like crushed up. It consists of buttery toffee that’s topped with chocolate. Hershey’s makes this particular candy bar, and it’s a classic!

In addition to the buttery Heath bar pieces, you’ll add in some chocolate chips. I went with semi-sweet chocolate chips. Once the Heath Bar pieces and the chocolate chips are folded in, you’re going to cover the dough and put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or the fridge for about an hour.

This is a trick I recently learned. Typically I am used to chilling sugar cookie dough, not drop cookie dough like this. But chilling the dough is a great thing to do because it allows the gluten strands in the flour to relax a bit. Additionally, the flour is able to soak up some of the moisture in the dough which means as the cookies bake, they won’t spread out too much.

After the dough is chilled, you’ll plop the dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. I finally invested in a cookie scoop from Amazon for $9.00 and it has been worth every penny! They’ll go into the oven for about 8-10 minutes. 

Once they’re done, you’ll let them sit on the cookie sheet for a few minutes to set up a bit before transferring them to wire racks to cool.

As a final little touch, I sprinkled a teensy bit of sea salt on the top of each cookie. Delicious!

Look at these yummy ooey gooey Double Chocolate Chip Heath Bar Cookies! Don’t they look fabulous? Crispy on the edges but soft and chewy in the center, that’s my kind of cookie! You’ll get about 5 dozen cookies from this recipe.
