Heath Bar Cookies

Heath Bar Cookies Recipe

·                         Yield: Makes 5 to 6 dozen small cookies

INGREDIENTS

·                         2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

·                       1 teaspoon baking soda

·                         1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter (room temperature)

·                         3/4 cup dark brown sugar

·                         3/4 cup granulated sugar

·                         2 eggs

·                         1 teaspoon vanilla

·                         1 1/2 cups chopped Heath Bar pieces (Eight 1.4 ounce bars)

·                         1/2 cup chopped walnuts

       Directions

1 In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine Heath Bar pieces and chopped walnuts. Set aside.

2 In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown and white sugars, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

3 Add the flour mixture a third at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the Heath bar walnut mixture. Chill cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (better an hour or longer).

 4 Preheat oven to 350°F. On cookie sheets lined with parchment paper spoon out the cookie dough in small 1-inch diameter balls (size of a large marble). Place dough balls 3 inches away from each other on the cookie sheets. (These cookies spread!)

 5 Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are just starting to brown. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
