Now, here’s my tall fish tale when it comes to these sweet treats.
You see, I was reeled in, like a poor fish on a hook with those ultra dark chocolate chips , crunchy toffee and walnut chunks stuffed about in those thick, chewy, delicious cookies staring right back at me. It’s not like I was fighting the urge to bite them. I fell for them, hook, line and sinker. Obviously. That’s my quirky little fish tale! 🙂
I’m such a sucker for dark chocolate!! (well…any chocolate really, but dark chocolate is just a different, cool kind of chocolate all in it’s own special little world because it’s not as sweet. I named it the ‘rebellious’ chocolate.) Although milk chocolate is my favorite chocolate, dark chocolate does have it’s advantages!
The anti-oxidants from the dark chocolate and omega-3s from the walnuts is in there. That works for me!

Hi Kim, You are after my own heart. I love dark chocolate, but as you say all chocolate. Can’t wait to try some of your recipes. Dark Chocolate Chip Toffee Walnut Cookies look so good. I have a part time job on Saturday’s. I usually take goodies on that day. Some of the people I work with do not like chocolate. Too bad! I think I will make this recipe for my job on Saturday. Thanks for your recipes, especially chocolate.
Absolutely Laurie! Enjoy!!
Can I substitute the brown sugar for Light Brown Sugar?
Avril, I’m so glad you liked them! Your pantry additions sound delightful!! 🙂 Thank you so much for letting me know!
Just made these but made some changes according to my pantry. Used pecan nuts and caramel chips. They have turned out really well and will become a regular on my cookie baking list. Thanks for a great recipe.
Hi Natalie! I used a large ice cream scooper or 1/4 cup, so it makes 16-18 large cookies. 🙂 You will love them and thanks so much for stopping by!
Oh my goodness – dark chocolate, walnuts and (non-optional) toffee bits?! YUM! Can’t wait to make these! Do you know how many cookies this recipe makes?
