Outrageous Chocolate Toffee Cookies

We are having a very happy week here at Creekside.

We’ve all been waiting for our younger daughter and her husband to be blessed with children, and yesterday, they were very happy to welcome their new daughter into the world. Our third grandchild! Not only that, but we are especially thrilled that they now live just a few hours away, instead of 2 days’ driving, so we will get to share in this life of this new little one much more than we had originally anticipated. We feel incredibly thankful right now.

You always hear about the cliche of doting grandparents, but it doesn’t really make sense until you actually have some. I mean, I knew that I would love my grandchildren, but that instant, spiritual connection was totally unexpected to me, and it remains a precious and mysterious bond. The fact that they seem to feel the same about us, is even more treasured. We are looking forward to enjoying many happy times with little Evelyn, just as we do with Mark and Anna.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate [I used Trader Joe's 72% Dark Chocolate], chopped coarsely
• 4 tablespoons butter
• ⅔ cup all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• ¾ cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• ¾ cup almond brickle toffee chips

Instructions

1. Melt the chocolate and butter together- either over a pan of simmering water, or by heating 20 seconds at a time in the microwave, stirring well between - 40 to 60 seconds, depending on the microwave. When the ships are about half melted, stop heating and just stir until completely melted. Cool to room temperature - about 20 minutes.
2. When the chocolate mixture is cooled, preheat the oven to 350, and line two large, heavy baking sheets with parchment paper.
