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.

I had a hard time finding toffee bits, so I used chopped toffee bars instead. They worked just as well and the cookies were still delicious.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
