Chocolate Toffee Cookies


1/2 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1/4 t salt
1 lb bitter sweet chocolate
1/4 c. butter
1 3/4 c. brown sugar
4 eggs
1 t. vanilla
5 heath bars (1.4oz size) broken into pieces about the size of a chocolate chip
1 c. walnuts chopped

melt chocolate and butter together
beat sugar and eggs until frothy about 5 minutes
mix in chocolate mixture and add vanilla
add flour, baking soda and salt
stir in heath bars and walnuts

The dough will be extremely runny so refrigerate for about 45 min. (any longer and you will bend your spoon trying to get the dough out) then use a med size cookie scoop and bake on parchment paper for 14 minutes at 350. They should be soft and cracked on top. It's okay if they don't look quite done- they will set up on the pan and Don't forget the parchment- you will be really sad when they won't come off the bottom of the pan!!

makes about 3 1/2 dozen.
Dedicated with love to AS who prefers a brownie! these are for you! hope you can find bars of bittersweet chocolate in NZ.
