Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Toffee Cookies!-Crispy on the edges, soft & gooey in the center!

I am not a great baker….I’m really not even a “good” baker, however I have made these cookies numerous times & each time they turn out great!! They stay soft even days after they are baked! After tweaking the recipe over the last few months here is the final version, I hope you enjoy them as much as my family has!

Ingredients:
1 Cup butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup white sugar
2 large eggs or ½ cup liquid eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons hot water
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
¾ cup bit of brickle toffee bits (they are in a bag near the chocolate chips)
Optional-1 cup chopped almonds

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream together butter & sugars until smooth.
Beat in eggs, then stir in Vanilla.
Dissolve baking soda in Hot water & add to the sugar/butter mixture.
Carefully Stir in flour & cream of tartar until blended.
Stir on chocolate chips, toffee bits, & almonds.
Drop by the spoonful onto an ungreased pan….I use a Silpat covered pan, Silpats are amazing!!
Bake 11 minutes in the preheated oven. They may not look done but they will be perfect once they cool, DON’T OVER COOK!!

Refreshing Summer Party Food Idea

For my son’s 1st birthday party we served a Brunch buffet.  Included on the menu were fruit kabobs served over a cup of fruit dip.  They are a little time consuming but so worth the final product.  We used popsicle sticks instead of skewers so the kids wouldn’t poke themselves.  Anyways just pick your favorite fruits & skewer them (I did these the night before the party & they held up just fine).  The fruit dip recipe is below:

Basic Fruit Dip Recipe:
1 jar marshmallow fluff
8oz softened cream cheese
teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine & refrigerate until ready to use.

You can add any of these to change up your fruit dip if you’d like:
Cherry juice
Lemon juice/zest
Cinnamon
