A chocolate bar this good deserves a cookie of its own.

This month, gourmet chocolate company Green & Black's is launching its 3.5-ounce toffee-studded milk chocolate bar, a crunchy, creamy, sweat treat that cries out for an equally delicious cookie. So here it is.

TOFFEE CHOCOLATE COOKIE

Start to finish: 40 minutes

Makes about 24 cookies

1 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1/3 cup sugar

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

3.5-ounce Green & Black's Toffee Milk Chocolate bar, cut into small chunks

Position a rack at the center of the oven. Heat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat together the melted butter and both sugars for about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until well mixed.

With the mixer on low, add the flour, mixing until just blended. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the chocolate.

Use a spoon to scoop 1 1/2-inch balls of dough and arrange them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Use the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to press the balls until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until lightly golden brown at the edges. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.

NEW TASTES: Green & Black's Toffee Milk Chocolate bar is available nationwide for $3.49
