I just made the best damned cookies. EIGHT DOZEN. Hey friend, guess what you're getting for Christmas! I got this recipe from my friend Shannon. When she gave it to me she called it "Rachel's". I call it "Shannon's" because I don't know who Rachel is. I guess if you try it you should call it "Carol's" since chances are very very slim that you know who Shannon is.
Shannon's Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies (She calls them Whomp'm Cookies) 2 ¼ cups flour 1 large package dry instant vanilla pudding mix 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup butter, softened (don't let it melt though, this makes the cookies to runny) ¾ cup sugar ¾ cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs ½ (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chunks (she had a hard time finding these so she just uses the chips for this part, too.) ½ (12-ounce) package toffee bits (It works if you get the chocolate coated kind, but its better if you just get the toffee.) Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix flour, pudding mix, salt and baking soda in a small bowl. Set aside. Mix butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips, chunks, and toffee bits. Place large rounded drops of cookie batter on a cookie sheet. I got 8 to a sheet. Makes 3-4 dozen.
