Toblerone Cookies!

Seriously chocolatey & almondy Toblerone cookies that will be a hit with EVERYONE.
Chocolate bar themed cookies
The other week I posted a recipe request thing on my Facebook page as I was lacking in a bit of inspiration, and someone mentioned chocolate bar themed cookies. Well… these cookies are rich, indulgent, and packed full of chunks of Toblerone, making them the ultimate treat for chocolate lovers. They’re thick, fudgy, and loaded with flavour in every single bite.
I have ALWAYS wanted to post my Toblerone Cookie recipe but I genuinely have just neglected it and kept it to myself like a greedy person… but now, as I have had waaaaay more requests for it since then, so TA DAAAA! These beauties are officially out in the world, and I couldn’t be happier to share them with you.
Chocolate cookie options
Now I know you all love a chocolate cookie recipe just as much as I do – like my triple chocolate NYC cookies, Chocolate Orange NYC cookies, my Toblerone NYC cookies and my triple chocolate cookie cake. Chocolate cookies are just unbeatable.
Like my Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cookies and my triple chocolate chip crinkle cookies – the recipe is similar and chocolatey. I find that recipes consuming cocoa powder bake a lot better and more consistently, without having to chill the dough. Whenever I have made these cookies, they have never failed me – it’s one of those recipes you can rely on when you want guaranteed cookie success.
Toblerone alternatives
My no-bake Toblerone cheesecake, Toblerone NYC cookies, Toblerone tart and my Toblerone cupcakes are some of the most popular recipes on my blog and I’m not surprised that you are all craving another Toblerone recipe – Toblerone has always been one of my top 5 chocolates as I am addicted to it also.
That combination of smooth chocolate with the sweet honey and almond nougat is just unreal. It’s rich, nostalgic, and totally addictive. And when you bake it into a cookie? Game over. The nougat softens slightly, the chocolate melts beautifully, and the flavour becomes even more indulgent.
Homemade vs shop bought
I love chocolate bar cookies because they feel indulgent and slightly naughty, and if I’m honest, I always want to keep them all to myself. Yes, you can buy “fresh” Toblerone cookies in supermarkets, but nothing compares to baking your own batch at home. There’s something so satisfying about pulling a tray of warm, gooey cookies out of the oven and knowing you made them yourself. Plus, you get control over the size, the texture, and most importantly the amount of chocolate.
If I only want a small batch, I follow the recipe right up to scooping the dough into portions, then freeze them individually on a tray. Once frozen, I pop them into a zip-lock bag and bake them straight from frozen whenever the craving hits (just add an extra two minutes in the oven). Hello, cookie heaven.
Tips & tricks
- I say to use chopped almonds OR extra chocolate chips as you want 250g of filling as a whole (Like my Terry’s Chocolate Orange cookies) – you can of course use 250g of Toblerone, but as Toblerone is made out of nougat, which is almonds, I tend to add in some chopped almonds as I like the difference.
- You can also use dark/milk/white Toblerone, it doesn’t really matter, its a choice of preference.
- These will last in an airtight container, at room temperature for 5 days, or you can freeze the portioned raw dough for up to 3 months.

- I used this 5cm scoop

Toblerone Cookies
Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 1 medium egg (beaten)
- 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 175 g self raising flour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 200 g Toblerone (chopped)
- 50 g chopped almonds OR chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190ºc / 180ºc fan / 375ºf and line two baking trays with parchment paper and leave to the side.
- Mix together the unsalted butter and both granulated and light brown sugars until light and fluffy and thoroughly combined.
- Add the vanilla bean extract and the beaten egg, and mix again briefly.
- Add the cocoa powder, self raising flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and sea salt and mix until a thick paste/cookie dough is formed.
- Fold through the chopped up Toblerone and either the 50g chopped almonds OR extra 50g chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto the trays and make sure they are suitable spread out so they stay separate! (I usually fit 6 on each tray to be safe.)
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes

If I wanted to make this into a giant rectangle cookie – would I bake it for the same time?
Hi Jane. Could I leave out the cocoa and add extra flour. Thank you love all the recipes
Hey, I would follow my NYC choc chip cookie recipe but bake with the size and timings of this recipe xx
Hi could I use white toblerone instead of milk and dark? Would I need to change any of the other ingredients?
You only need to swap the toblerone x
Hi Jane,
Would this recipe work as the cookie bar version?
Xx
Yes! Bake into a 9″ square tin for about 18-20 minutes!
Amazing!! Thank you lovely! Xx
Hey! I made your Toblerone cookies yesterday and was very excited for them. But they turned out rather cakey in the middle and didn’t flatten down like they should. Any idea why? I can’t be more sure that I followed your recipe exactly. The only thing I can think of is the oven temp. Even though my thermometers (I use two of them just in case) were at 190 the oven has been acting a little crazy lately. But the cakes I baked recently turned out fine.
These cookies are meant to be thick and fudgey, so maybe you just expected something else? Also, as you are based in a different country, it could very well be that the ingredients could be different!
Why is it you use self raising flour in this recipe, but plain in the M&M cookie recipe?
That’s mentioned in the M&M recipe. For these, I use self raising.
Oh sorry so it does. I’m not naturally very good at baking so i’m trying to improve my skills. Also, made the M&M cookies the other day and they were immense! Thanks for the awesome recipes.
What texture should they be when they are done? After 12 mins, mine still felt soft and weren’t that bobbly?
They will still be soft when warm, but once cooled they should harden slightly. They are meant to be soft and gooey though!
Thank you I made a version of these (without Toblerone as we didn’t have any)! They were delicious and went down so well at work!!
How big should I cut the tobelrone?
How big should I cut the toblerone?
Thanks for the rcp. These are a hit by us. 😋
Made them in double batches today. It’s yummy. Reduced the sugar by 1/4 but still a tad too sweet. Can I freeze some of the dough? If I do, what should I do when ready to bake?
I often portion the dough, and freeze in lumps. When going to bake, just add 1-2 minutes extra onto the time of baking.
these looks so yummy. its soft/crunchy cookies?
Both!
Oh my word Heaven
Hehehe thank you!!
Hii these look divine! Can they made without eggs? Would love if you could provide a substitute for eggs as I’m a vegan 🙂
Ive never tried it so I wouldn’t know – eggs are essential to get the right cookie, I don’t know of any alternatives or if they work!
These look so yummy. M y hubby would love these.
I must say that they are definitely some of my favourites! Thank you!
We don’t have that self-raising flour around these parts. So anything I could use to replace that? Because this recipe looks yummy and toblerone is a real treat.
You could try plain flour with an extra teaspoon of baking powder? Texture might not be quite the same though 🙂
Thanks, I’ll be trying that then. ♡
Enjoy them!!
Wow these cookies are gorgeous. Toblerone is my hubby’s favourite chocolate. I have to make these. You’re a genius Jane and I love your recipes. Sammie xx
Hehe thank you Sammie! They’re on par with my Chocolate Orange Cookies for me, so yummy! And yes please do!! xx
they look so good !
Thank you, Anita! 🙂
