Chocolate-Toffee Cookies

½ Cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 lb bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 ¾ cups (packed) dark brown sugar (I used light)
4 large eggs
1 tbl vanilla extract
12 ozs Heath bar bits
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (I used chopped pecans)

1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, whisk to blend.
2. Stir chocolate and butter in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from water. Cool mixture to lukewarm.
3. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and eggs in bowl until thick, about 5 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture, then toffee and nuts. Chill batter until firm, about 45 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper.
5. Drop batter by ¼ cupfuls onto sheets, spacing 2 ½ inches apart. Bake until tops are dry and cracked, but cookies are still soft to touch, about 15 minutes. Cool on sheets.

Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temp.

Looks great. Fortunatley I would have to make the effort to make the cookies and I am a lazy bastard. Don't need em. Besides, a bag of Heath bar bits would not last long enough around my place to make it to being used in a recipe. Mix some heath bits with a little peanut butter - Yummy! (and easy to make!)
