The Recipe

Fudgy Toffee Pecan Cookies

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
6 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coarsely chopped toffee, from about 3 (1.4-ounce) bars
1/2 cup toasted pecan halves, coarsely chopped

Now, let’s get started!

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
3. Mix butter and sugars in a stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
5. Reduce speed to low, add reserved flour mixture, and mix until just combined.
6. Add toffee and pecan pieces, mixing until evenly distributed.
7. Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons, placing 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake until set around the edges but still soft in the center, about 9-11 minutes.
9. Let cool to room temperature before removing cookies from the baking sheet.

Assembling the Sandwiches

It’s time to bring it all together!

1. Using a 3-tablespoon ice cream scoop, top each bottom cookie with 1 scoop of ice cream and 1 cookie.
2. Firmly press the cookies together to evenly disperse the ice cream in the center.
3. Immediately wrap each sandwich with plastic wrap and place in the freezer.
4. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream.

Now, go ahead and indulge in your masterpiece!
