Salted Toffee Cookies

OMGOODNESS!

TO DIE FOR!

Salted Toffee Cookies

Ingredients:

2 sticks of butter 

3/4 c white sugar

3/4 c brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

2 1/4 c flour

1 tsp baking soda

pinch of baking powder

pinch of salt

1 pkg toffee bits

3-4 tbsp course sea salt flakes for sprinkling each cookie

1. Bring eggs & butter to room temperature.

2. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, & salt.

3. Whisk together the softened butter & sugars until they are smooth and fluffy. Be sure to whisk until the sugars are all the way or mostly dissolved into the butter.

4. Add vanilla & mix well.

5. Whisk in the eggs one at a time. Slowly add dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt) into wet ingredients (butter, sugars, vanilla, eggs).

6. Add toffee pieces into dough.

At this point I always cool my cookie dough for over an hour. I like the way they maintain shape this way.

7. With parchment paper on the cookie sheet, scoop even balls of dough onto the sheet.

8. Top with a pinch of sea salt, bake at 350 degrees for 11 minutes.

DO NOT OVER BAKE, keep them soft and chewy.

YUM YUM!
I dare you to each just ONE!

Chocolate Chip AMAZING!

This is my MOM's recipe!
I posted another chocolate chip cookie recipe here...
I may have said it was the best... but I told a wee fib!
My Mom's recipe is the BEST!

I may have made this recipe TWICE this week.
I had to!
Friends are having babies!
Friends are having tea parties!
Friends are having cravings!
A girls gotta do...

Mom's Chocolate Chip Cookies
2/3 cup butter
2/3 cup canola oil
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Cream butter, oil, eggs, sugars & vanilla.
Add the remaining ingredients.
Drop on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 335 degrees for 12 mins.

Here is the most important rule.... DO NOT OVER BAKE THESE BEAUTIES!
If you do anything, undercook them.  No one likes a crusty, dry, chocolate chip snack.

AND
Be warned.
If you substitute butter for margarine (who the hell does that?!) or apple sauce for the sugars I am not responsible for the epic disappointment.
DO NOT ruin a perfectly good and fattening cookie by trying to make it healthy, that is LAME!  Where I'm from it is anyway.

SOOOOOOO GOOD!
Thanks to my friend Colleen for asking for this recipe.  It prompted me to post
