Best Cookies Ever
With a name like this, we knew this recipe had to be included in our cookbook! Lana Rulevish of Ashley, Illinois shared it with us. She found it in a community church cookbook a few years back. Packed with pecans, peanut butter cups, chocolate and toffee, these cookies will go in a hurry!
|
1-1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1 egg, beaten
1 t. vanilla extract
1-1/2 c. long-cooking oats,
uncooked
| 10 mini peanut butter cups,
unwrapped and quartered
1.55-oz. milk chocolate candy
bar, grated
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate
chips
1 c. toffee baking bits
1 c. chopped pecans
|
Mix together flour and baking soda; set aside. In a separate large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat on low speed until blended. Use a spoon to fold in remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for several hours to overnight. Form into one-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about 2-1/2 dozen.
