With several more bags of Heath Milk Chocolate Toffee Bits to use, I decided to adapt the Heath Bar Cookie recipe. The cookie was too flat for me, so I added a bit of baking powder. I thought it could use more flavor, so I used slightly less vanilla, added some coffee flavor and 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. I also used brown sugar for most of the sugar.
I liked this cookie better, but it’s entirely different in texture and taste. It has crispy edges with a soft interior, and I liked it better jut slightly underdone. My taste testers thought it was great.

You are a total expert in regards to cookie banking.
Great work.
Wishing you a lovely weekend ♥
Great job! I prefer my cookies to be chewy in the middle and crispy on the edges. My boys have been asking for cookies...and I have all the ingredients. Great idea!
That looks like a perfect cookie to me! Just wish I had one right now. Good job!
That is exactly what I am craving now. Too bad they only have brownies at this coffee shop.
