This is one of my ultimate favorite cookies, seriously so good! Not only are the cookies amazing, but the cookie dough is fabulous as well. These cookies always turn out so well and pretty sure I'll never get sick of them. My mom found this recipe on the baking blonde, such a cute blog. It has been my favorite ever since. I hope you enjoy it!
1/4 cup Butter, softened
1/4 cup Shortening/Crisco (I use butter-flavored)
2 cups Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Tbl. Vanilla
Cream ingredients together very well!
Then add:
3 cups Flour
1 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 1/2 tsp. Cream of Tartar
1/4 tsp. Salt
Mix very well, the dough will be very pretty and light brown, then stir in:
1 cup Heath Toffee Bits
1/2 cup chopped and toasted Pecans-I just chop the pecans, put them in a pie tin and stick them in the oven while it's pre-heating. Make sure you stir them around every 5 minutes or so and pull them out when they're golden and smell really good.
Scoop dough into balls, I roll mine too.
Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. They will be puffy and golden, make sure you don't over bake them! They will harden up a bit with time.
You can chill the dough as well, it turns out great either way.
