These Toblerone shortbread cookies are buttery, tender, and filled with little pockets of honey-almond nougat chocolate. They’re simple, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth with just enough texture from the chopped Toblerone.

This is one of those easy cookie recipes that feels a little special without needing much work. Slice, bake, cool, and watch them disappear within 24 hours.

Ingredients

  • 210 g unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 100 g powdered sugar

  • Seeds from ½ vanilla bean, or ½ tbsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 210 g all-purpose flour

  • 230 g chopped Toblerone

Instructions

  1. Whip base: In a bowl, whip together the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until light, creamy, and fluffy.

  2. Add dry ingredients: Add the flour and salt.

  3. Form dough: Mix just until a soft shortbread dough forms.

  4. Fold in chocolate: Fold in the chopped Toblerone by hand. Try not to overmix — we want these to stay tender and soft, not tough.

  5. Shape log: Place the dough onto parchment paper or plastic wrap and shape into a smooth 12-inch log.

  6. Chill: Wrap tightly and chill in the fridge until solid, about 1–2 hours.

  7. Prep oven & sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  8. Slice: Slice the chilled dough into ½-inch thick shortbread cookies.

  9. Arrange: Space the cookies about 3 inches apart on the baking sheets.

  10. Bake: Bake for 15–17 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly golden.

  11. Shape (optional): Remove from the oven and gently shape the cookies while warm if desired.

  12. Cool: Let cool fully before enjoying.

Notes

  • For the cleanest slices, make sure the dough log is very cold before cutting.

  • These are best once fully cooled, when the shortbread has that buttery snap and the Toblerone settles into little chewy, chocolatey pockets. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
