The only changes I made to the original recipe include omitting almonds and adding chopped chocolate almond candy bars which I had sitting in my pantry. You can certainly use chocolate chips or whatever chocolate bars you prefer. Aside from that, this recipe is one you can certainly play around with by adding other baking chips and/or nuts.
I really liked this cookie's mix of textures. The sweet bits of toffee, chewiness from the shredded coconut and oatmeal, and the bursts of melted chocolate from the chocolate chunks swirled in really worked so well together. At this point, I'm craving ice cream and think these cookies would be great as ice cream cookie sandwiches!

Wow...those cookies look really amazing! It sounds so crunchy and yummy :)
ReplyDeleteI love cookies that seems to be crunchy. Chocolate and toffee flavor seems to be a great combination.I should better try that one.
ReplyDeleteThis combination is new to me. It should probably taste so good. I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a cookie for young and old. I guess, I have to make it and find out. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteWhat brand of chocolate almond candy bars did you use in this recipe.
Hi Jackie! I used a chocolate bar with almonds from Trader Joe's. You can use any chocolate candy bar with almonds or even a plain chocolate candy bar and add some chopped almonds as a substitute.
