Candy bar Cookies

Candy bar Cookies
By: Rosanna

1 ½ cups flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter (1 stick) softened (leave at room temperature for 45 minutes to soften; It should be soft, yet still firm. Using butter that is too soft will cause cookies to spread.)
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (any type will work)
1 cup Sees semisweet chocolate chips or 1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks of another brand
1 candy bar, broken into chunks the size of the chocolate chip chunks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees convection

Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. In an electric mixer beat the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Gradually add in flour mixture.

Stir in 2/3 cup of the nuts and 2/3 cup of the chocolate chips into the dough.

Using a large scoop drop 6 level scoops of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet (you will need 2 sheets). Cookies will spread slightly while baking. Flatten each scoop slightly with the palm of your hand. Lightly press the remaining nuts, chocolate chips and crushed candy bar into tops of cookies.

Bake for 14 minutes. Cool 7 minutes on the baking pan then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yields 1 dozen cookies (12)
