I found this recipe 20 years ago in my mom's recipe box. It was a very old newspaper clipping, but I don't recall her ever making them. I updated it a bit and baked a cookie that my friend named by saying, Oh, I've died and gone to heaven!
Ingredients:
1 cup softened butter
3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 -2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed toffee pieces, candy (such as heath, skor, etc.)
1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
Directions:
1. Cream butter until fluffy.
2. Add the sugars slowly and beat well.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well.
4. On a sheet of waxed paper thoroughly combine the flour, baking powder, soda, and salt.
5. Add to the butter mix, stirring just until blended.
6. Stir in toffee bits, coconut, chips, and pecans.
7. Drop the dough by tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets.
8. Bake 10-12 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven until lightly brown around the edges.
9. Let them cool on the sheets a bit before removing to wire racks.
