Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 to 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whip together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add in the brown sugar, egg, and vanilla, and mix until smooth again.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture into the cream cheese mixture and slowly mix until just combined. Scrape down sides if needed.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place a tablespoon-sized dollop of dough 1 inch apart from each other. Place in the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. If chilling overnight, it is important to cover the dough with plastic wrap.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Move the cookies 2 inches apart from
    each other on the parchment-lined cookie sheet if needed and bake for 12
    to 14 minutes until they no longer look glossy on top and the bottom
    edges start to brown slightly.
  • Let cool for 2 minutes on the cookie sheet. Use the other end of a
    wooden spoon or other utensil and press down slightly into the cookie making a little dent in the center. Quickly place 4-6 chocolate chips in the center of each cookie and let it melt.
  • Using a butter knife, gently spread the chocolate to make a chocolate center and tops with toffee bits. Place on a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
