Giant Chocolate Toffee Pecan Cookies Recipes

AMAZING GIANT CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, whisk to blend.
• Stir chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water until melted and smooth. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a sauce pan over low heat.
• Remove pan from over water (heat) and cool to lukewarm.
• Beat sugar and eggs in a bowl until thick (about 5 minutes) using an electric mixer.
• Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla.
• Stir in flour mixture, then toffee and nuts.
• Chill batter until firm (about 45 minutes).
• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, 2 1/2" apart.
• Bake just until tops are dry and cracked but cookies are still soft to the touch, about 15 minutes.
• Cool on cookie sheets.

CHEWY TOFFEE PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the work bowl of a food processor, add flour, pecans, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt: process until nuts are finely ground into flour.
• In a large bowl, beat butter, shortening, white and dark brown sugars at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add molasses, eggs, and vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended.
• Gradually add flour mixture, beathing just until dough forms.
• Stir in chocolate morsels and toffee bits.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls; then roll balls in turbinado sugar. Do not flatten. NOTE: You may need more turbinado sugar - just use more if you need more. I ended up with probably closer to 2 cups.
• Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly flattened.
• Let cool on pans for 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
• NOTE: you may find it useful to rinse and dry hands every so often, as that helps the dough roll into a ball more easily.
