  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Main structural element.
  • ½ cup Cornstarch Helps create a tender crumb.

For the Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup Chocolate-Covered Toffee Chunks Adds crunch and sweetness; may substitute with plain toffee or chocolate chips.

Adding Toffee
  1. Gently fold in the chocolate-covered toffee chunks into the dough using a spatula.
Chilling the Dough
  1. Shape the dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the chilled dough into rounds about ½ inch thick and place them on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
Cooling
