Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks
1 cup toffee bits
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Divide in half.
4. Add half the dry mix to the wet mixture to create the classic dough. Mix cocoa powder into the remaining dry mix and combine with the other half of the wet mix for the chocolate dough.
5. Fold chocolate chunks and toffee bits into both doughs.
6. Swirl the two doughs together lightly and form large dough balls.
7. Chill dough for at least 1 hour in the fridge or 30 minutes in the freezer.
8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
9. Bake cookies for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft.
10. Sprinkle flaky salt over warm cookies and let cool for 10 minutes on the tray.
Notes
For best texture, don’t skip chilling the dough. It enhances flavor and prevents spreading.
Use high-quality chopped dark chocolate instead of chips for melty pockets.
Swirl the doughs gently—overmixing blends the colors and ruins the marbled effect.
