Cookie Monster, in philosopher mode or not, would wax poetic on these Chocolate Toffee Butter Cookies. They are like biting into happiness. Crunchy pecans, smooth chocolate and toffee bits scattered in a buttery cookie are so good together.
Chocolate Toffee Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
2 1/3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 cup toffee bits
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2/3 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
Directions:
1. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, in a bowl and set aside.
2. Use an electric mixer to cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add vanilla and egg and beat until combined.
4. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture in two batches until combined. Stir in toffee bits.
5. Divide dough in half and roll each piece into a log about 9 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Flatten each to about 2 1/2 inches wide. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.
6. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
7. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
8. Use a sharp knife to cut chilled dough into 1/4-inch slices. Transfer to prepared baking sheets spacing them an inch apart.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just browned around the edges. Cool completely.
10. Transfer baked cookies to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet.
11. Melt chocolate chips with the oil in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
12. Dip edges of cookies in melted chocolate and roll in pecans. Allow to set for one hour.

Recipe from Cook’s Country
I am such a child sometimes.
So many worthy music submissions in my inbox, but I spotted The Boneheads and laughed aloud. What a name for a band. Luckily, their latest song ‘Feel The Light’ is an uplifting joy of a tune and fits right in with cookies that bring so much happiness.
“Todays a brand new day
and I feel the light”
Check out The Boneheads on Bandcamp where you can buy their music.
Cheers!
