CHEWY TOFFEE PECAN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES



Chewy Toffee Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Absolutely the best cookies ever! I made enough to fill two gallon-size plastic bags and they were gone within a day. This recipe was a runner-up in a contest that was in the Paula Deen magazine. (Her recipe says this makes three dozen, but I came out with about eight dozen) I used chocolate covered toffee bits instead of the plain toffee bits and it was fantastic so don't worry if you can't find the plain ones. The cooking time is cumulative for all batches (and is approximate).

Time 2h

Yield 75-85 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup chopped pecans
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup all-vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
1 (8 ounce) bag toffee pieces
1 cup turbinado sugar

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.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH TOFFEE PECAN COOKIES



Melt in Your Mouth Toffee Pecan Cookies image

The only bad thing about these cookies is that it's impossible to eat just one!

Provided by Joyce Newman

Categories     Cookies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 c butter, softened
1 box yellow cake mix
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp water
1 pkg heath toffee bits
1/2 to 1 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. pre-heat oven to 350*F.
  • 2. Mix butter, add cake mix, eggs & water. Mix well with hand mixer.
  • 3. Add toffee bits and pecans, mix by hand. If you like lots of nuts, feel free to add 3/4 to 1 Cup of pecans.
  • 4. Spoon onto ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350* for 10 minutes for small cookies. For larger cookies bake for 12-13 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack. They won't look done, but when they cool, they solidify, still being a soft chewy cookie.

Tips:

  • For the best toffee flavor, use high-quality butter and brown sugar.
  • Don't overmix the cookie dough, or the cookies will be tough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, this will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the toffee by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the toffee forms a hard ball, it is ready.
