Ingredients
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 lb bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened) or 1 lb semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups brown sugar, packed
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
5 (1 1/2 ounce) chocolate-covered english toffee bars, coarsely chopped (like Heath or Skor)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (optional)
Preparation
-
Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, whisk to blend.
Stir chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water until melted and smooth. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a sauce pan over low heat.
Remove pan from over water (heat) and cool to lukewarm.
Beat sugar and eggs in a bowl until thick (about 5 minutes) using an electric mixer.
Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla.
Stir in flour mixture, then toffee and nuts.
Chill batter until firm (about 45 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0.
Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto parchment-lined cookie sheets, 2 1/2\" apart.
Bake just until tops are dry and cracked but cookies are still soft to the touch, about 15 minutes.
Cool on cookie sheets.
