My group of friends had a weekly "movie night" during winters on Martha's Vineyard, and we'd take turns making a chocolate treat to share. These terrific cookies were an instant success. Once they debuted, I had to make them many more times. -Laura Bryant German, W. Warren, Massachusetts

CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Chocolate-Toffee Thumbprint Cookies image

These chocolate cookies have a festive burst of Christmas sprinkles on top, but they're even more than meets the eye! HERSHEY'S cocoa and HEATH milk chocolate toffee bits get folded into Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix for a tender, chocolaty dough that's studded with bursts of crunchy, buttery toffee. And where traditional thumbprints get a filling of jam in the middle, these indulgent treats get a dollop of silky chocolate ganache, easily made with HERSHEY'S milk chocolate chips, butter and cream. They'll spruce up any cookie tray, but it's the taste and texture that'll have your guests raving.
