The first time I had these cookies I thought I would embarrass myself with how many I ate. We were at dinner at a lovely lady's house....the mother-in-law of my very good friend....and Dorothy had these for dessert along with a cherry cheesecake. The cheesecake was good, no doubt, but it was these cookies that captured my attention and found a place into my heart and taste-buds. Apparently Dorothy made these cookies all the time for her family and you could tell because she had perfected the recipe. Dorothy's gone now but the memory of her is strong and I think of her every time I make these little treasures.
Dorothy's Toffee Chip Cookies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper
Cream together:
1 cup butter – softened
1 cup sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Beat in 2 eggs
Add:
2 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 bag toffee chips
Drop by small teaspoonfuls and bake for 8 to 10 minutes depending on desired softness/crunchiness. These cookies spread while baking so don’t crowd the pan. I usually get about 12 cookies per pan.
Makes about 4 dozen cookies
This is a very basic recipe so I
didn't show all the steps. But here's whatcha need.
Make the dough balls a little on
the small side because these babies will spread.
These
cookies are flat when baked. You can bake them so they turn out soft or
if you like to live on the wild side like Dorothy did, make 'em
crunchy. Yummy either way.
