Lindsie Birthday Cookies

We (Greg and I) have made these for Lindsie a couple of times now. Since she likes them so much, there's no need to send her anything else. Her former roomie from Berkeley enjoyed them as well. (She called me a cookie goddess. I'll take that as a compliment!) We sent these to our mom this year for Mother's Day and they were well received.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (milk or semi-sweet) mini chocolate chips (we cut up some Hershey's candy bar one time instead of the chocolate chips)
  • 1 cup of toffee (Sometimes Heath bars come pre-chopped in the baking aisle or you can buy a bag/bars and chop away!)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix/cream the sugars and butter together.
  3. Add egg and vanilla.
  4. Sift/mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix.
  6. Fold in chocolate and toffee.
  7. Place tablespoon sized balls onto non-greased sheets.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes.
  9. Let cool before eating. :)

Happy Birthday Lindsie! Have fun in Wisconsin!
