These rich and decadent chocolate cookies are filled with toffee, chopped almonds and finished off with a touch of sea salt. These cookies get an A+ in my book.

These cookies look delicious. I’m wondering if there is a special dark cocoa powder and if it is easy to find. Also is the chocolate covered toffee from a candy bar such as Heath? Thank you.
Carolyn,
Dark cocoa powder is sold in most baking sections. If you can’t find it, you can substitute regular cocoa powder. And yes, a Heath bar would be perfect.
These are so good. Love this site. Have made about 3 different cookies from here this holiday season. These were number 2 favorite. I used heath chips found in the bakery isle at the store. The sea salt really does make this cookie.
