Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies add a sweet crunch to your traditional cookie recipe. Chop up your favorite toffee bar and stir it in for something truly awesome.

There's a fine line between tradition and ritual, and I think right on that line lies intention. We have things we've done year after year at the holidays, hopefully because they bring us joy. Maybe we've never thought of those traditions as spiritual, though. If you're looking to bring more magick into your holiday traditions this year, I don't think you need to change the how, just focus on the why.

Consider why you have those traditions and how those traditions are enriching your life and the lives of the other people involved. Do you make Christmas cookies every year and share them with your friends and family? To take that from a tradition to a magical ritual, simply focus your intention as you bake on the love you want to share with each bite. The intention has surely been there all along, but when you focus your attention on it, it raises your vibration as you work, and that good energy ripples out. It's as simple as that.

What's makes these cookies so awesome

This is ia basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, but with a slight change up to the mix-ins. So you've got your crispy edges and your chewy center, and your buttery flavor, which is beautiful.

Magical Properties of Toffee & Sweets

Toffee and other sweets can be used in witchcraft similarly to the way you might use sugar. The idea of giving out fruit, nuts, and sweets at Samhain or Halloween was a symbolic way to appease wandering spirits while the veil was thin. Toffee and other sweets can still be left as an offering on your altar or at a graveyard.

As with sugar, toffee can be used to sweeten a spell. Consider leaving some as an offering when looking for a job. You can also bring this sweetness to love magic. Add a bit of toffee to a spell jar to attract some sweet romance into your life. (Source: Shirley Two Feathers)

The measurements for chocolate chips and toffee bits are suggestions. Do what looks good to you. I had to go to a specialty store to buy two Heath bars, so I chopped them both up and added them into the mix. I think it was just right.

You don't have to chill this dough, but it certainly won't hurt. Give them plenty of space to spread. A thinner cookie means crispy edges and a chewy center, which is absolute texture heaven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool. If the toffee bits stick a little, use a spatula or give them a little twist, and they'll usually come free.
