Ganache Toffee Crunch Cookies

I originally created this recipe, without the ganache, for a bakery I worked in while I was going to college. Part of my internship was to make a cookie to sell in the store.

Ganache Toffee Crunch Cookies

I wanted something slightly unique, but something many people would love. They seemed to be a big hit, & I have since then, made them even better with adding the ganached tops. What gets better than toffee, almonds, & chocolate? AMAZING!

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
  • ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, gently packed
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¼ cup (150 g) all-purpose flour, (stir, spoon, & level)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • 4 oz (113 g) HEATH Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits, (half of an 8oz bag)
  • ½ cup (40 g) quick oats
  • ½ cup (60 g) sweetened flake coconut
  • ½ cup (42 g) sliced almonds

Ganache:

  • 1 cup (170 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3 Tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  • Cream together the butter, sugars, & vanilla in a stand mixer. Scrape bowl.
  • Beat the egg slightly; then add to butter mixture & mix well. Scrape bowl.
  • Stir flour, salt & baking soda together in a separate bowl; then add slowly to the moist ingredients & mix thoroughly. Scrape bowl. (You need to scrape the bowl after each step so you don’t have any creamed butter/sugar mixture hiding that will make the cookie spread.)
  • Mix in the toffee bits, oatmeal, coconut, & almonds. Dough will be thick.
  • Drop dough in 1½-inch balls onto a greased baking sheet & bake at 350˚F for 15 minutes (edges start to get brown.) Let cookies cool.
  • Melt chocolate chips & butter in a double boiler. Wait until it is melty before you stir it, or it may cease.
  • Once cookies are cooled, spoon some warm ganache on top of each cookie & sprinkle some extra toffee bits/sliced almonds.
