What Are Millionaire Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies?

Millionaire cookies take inspiration from classic millionaire’s shortbread, which is known for its buttery base, caramelized sweetness, and chocolate topping. Here, those flavors are transformed into a bakery-style cookie that feels special but still comforting.

These cookies feature:

• Thick, Levain-style dough with crisp edges and soft, gooey centers
• Large chunks of chocolate that melt into pockets throughout the cookie
• Toffee pieces that add crunch and deep caramel flavor
• A subtle salty finish to balance the sweetness
• Optional edible gold leaf for a show-stopping presentation

The result is a cookie that feels elevated and indulgent while still being approachable enough to bake at home.

Ingredients You’ll Need to Make These Decadent Cookies

While these cookies taste luxurious, the ingredient list is refreshingly straightforward. The key is using good-quality chocolate and toffee to really let those flavors shine.

• Unsalted butter
• Granulated sugar
• Light brown sugar
• Large eggs
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate bars
• Toffee bits or chopped toffee candies
• Flaky sea salt, optional but highly recommended
• Edible gold leaf, optional for decorating

Using chopped chocolate bars instead of chips helps create those dramatic pools of melted chocolate that make these cookies feel bakery-worthy.

How to Make Thick Levain-Style Cookies at Home

Achieving thick, bakery style cookies is all about technique. These small details make a big difference in the final result.

• Mix the dough just until combined to keep the cookies tender: Over mixing can lead to a tough, dry cookie. Not what we want for you. This is a not a recipe where we’re trying to incorporate air or get the sugars fluffy. Only mix until just combined and you’ll be left with tender, buttery cookies.
• Use large portions of dough to create big, substantial cookies: We aren’t messing around with these cookies. They’re thick, Levain style cookies that get that beautiful doughy, gooey texture. They might seem huge when you’re shaping them (and they are) but that’s how the recipe is intended to bake up! If you prefer smaller cookies you can make them smaller, but you don’t get quite the same effect with less area.
• Slightly underbake the centers for a soft, gooey texture: The cookies should look set around the edges but still very soft in the middle when they come out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool!

How to store and freeze these decadent cookies

These cookies freeze like a dream so you can meal prep them and have cookies on demand whenever a craving strikes. Here are our top tips for storage and freezing!

• Storing baked cookies: You can store baked cookies at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 6 days. I actually think they’re super tasty cold, so I generally opt for the fridge! Either way, make sure they’re in an airtight container for maximum freshness!
• Freezing baked cookies: You can freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months! Make sure to let the cookies cool completely before placing in a freezer safe bag or container and freezing! Be sure to let them defrost or pop in the oven to heat them back up before eating.
• Freezing cookie dough: If you want that fresh baked cookie taste, you can also freeze the cookie dough balls. Make the recipe as directed, but freeze the shaped dough balls in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 2 months. When you want to bake them off, let the dough sit on the counter for an hour before baking so the cookies soften up enough to spread properly!

These Millionaire Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies are rich, indulgent, and designed to impress. Whether you finish them with edible gold leaf or keep them simple, they are guaranteed to be a standout addition to any cookie spread.

Happy baking!
