Chocolate Pecan Toffee Cookies

I made these a few days ago after I had some left over cookie dough from my cheesecake bars. I wanted to try something different from the same old chocolate chip cookie. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie, but this time I was just in the mood for  change. I had some pecans and toffee on hand, so this turned out to be the perfect recipe!

Chocolate Pecan Toffee Cookies

Recipe adapted from Cooking Channel

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1 1/2 sticks of soft unsalted butter

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup toffee candy bits (I used Heath Toffee Bits)

1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate chips, but I'm sure dark chocolate chips would taste great too)

Directions:

• Set the oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Use your hands to mix all of the ingredients until you see your cookie dough form.
• Drop heaping tablespoon scoops of dough about 3 inches apart on the baking sheets and bake until the edges are golden and centers are still soft, about 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets about 2 minutes and then carefully transfer to wire racks to cool.
