Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookie Pots

there are few things better than warm chocolate chip cookies straight out of the oven, still warm, with a tall, cold glass of milk.

perhaps it's because cookies and milk are quintessential childhood that they seem like the ultimate comfort food to us as adults. these chocolate chip toffee cookie pots are just that - a grown up version of a childhood classic. the warm, gooey, pots of cookie dough get a generous scoop of ice cream instead of milk, but the affect is the same. the cold, creamy ice cream is just the thing the rich, gooey, chocolate and toffee filled cookies need to put it over the top.

i love toffee and butterscotch chips but you could add anything you like here peanut butter chips, milk chocolate, white chocolate chips, etc.

these are also good leftover. just cover and refrigerate the pots and then pop back in the oven to warm for a couple of minutes. be sure to have vanilla ice cream on had because these are best a la mode!
