My mom sent me this recipe and it is SO good. And I don’t even like Heath bars! I’m still monkeying with the refrigerator time to get the spread just right. I also cut the size of the cookies back so my baking & cooling times aren’t 100%<\/p>\n

2.5 oz (\u00bd cup) flour
\n1 teas. Baking powder
\n\u00bc teas. Salt
\n1 lb. Bittersweet chocolate, I use Ghiradelli
\n2 oz (\u00bc cup) unsalted butter
\n13 oz. (1 \u00be cup) light brown sugar, packed
\n4 large eggs
\n1 tbl. Vanilla
\n5 (1.4 oz) heath bars (or similar)
\n4.25 oz (1 cup) walnuts or pecans, toasted <\/p>\n

Combine flour, baking powder and salt and set aside<\/p>\n

Microwave chocolate and butter until almost melted, 1-3 minutes. Stir to melt fully, cool to lukewarm<\/p>\n

With electric mixer, beat the sugar and eggs in a large bowl until thick, about five minutes. Beat in the chocolate mixture, vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture (don’t overmix) then the toffee and nuts.
\nChill until firm, at least 45 minutes. If you let it chill too long it will be very difficult to scoop and you’ll have to let it sit at room temperature for a while.<\/p>\n

To speed things up you can scoop the dough onto cookie sheets then freeze for 20 minutes or so, then bake.<\/p>\n

Heat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment. Portion out golfball size lumps of dough, I use a #24 disher. Bake until dry and cracked on top but soft to the touch in the center, about 10-12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 min, then remove to a wire rack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
