I'll admit it

These cookies look pretty damn unremarkable. Never judge a cookie by it's appearance though, because these babies were delicious! I took them to work today and my coworkers LOVED them. My work will sometimes get the Hyvee Bakery to cater meetings and this cookie really reminded me of their Heath Toffee cookie. This is from The Cookie Bible (of course!) It's a Hersey's Recipe.

The actual name of the recipe is "Build Your Own Chocolate Cookie". I decided to add Heath Bits and White Chocolate Chips. The result was a success... for the most part.**

Heath and White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cookies
The Cookie Bible


Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
Heath Bits (about 3/4 cup)... see below...
White Chocolate Chips (about 1 cup).... see below





Directions:


1. Heat oven to 375 F.
2. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs; beat well.
3. Stir together flour, cocoa and baking soda; gradually add to butter mixture, beating until well blended. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake 7 to 10 minutes or until set. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 5 dozen cookies.

**My disaster:


I was doing great with these, I had 4 batches down and was on my last dozen. I popped these in the oven, went to the computer and started working on a paper. 20something minutes later I remembered my cookies. I opened the oven to a bunch of smoke and charred cookies. It was quite sad. Damn School... always gettin in the way!
