Yesterday Elizabeth had a get-together for The Girls. It is not something we get to do often since some friends travel all the way from St. Catharines to get here. I provided cookies for the party and made Toffee Pecan Cookies from The Good Cookie. This cookie is of the drop type and includes three eggs which mixes up into a soft batter. I wasn't sure how they would turn out but the lure of toffee and pecans together had me itching to try.I made the cookies by the book except that I only baked them for 12 minutes. Any longer and they would have been inedible. Boyle writes that they are 'unattractive but addictive' and they do have a crater-type look to them. The cookies are crispy on the edges and cakey throughout. I used Skor bits that distributed nicely throughout the cookie so each bite had some toffee flavour. On the whole they were well received and are great when you need a lot of cookies - I think I made 4 1/2 dozen. I think next time I might try chopped Skor chocolate bars for extra flavour.
Recipe Update - If you would like to try the Chocolate Raspberry Crumble Bars with white chocolate chips, try prebaking the crust before adding the jam and chips. I did not do this and the white chips ended up looking like butterscotch ones after 40 minutes. They were still good to eat and I dressed them up by adding a drizzle of white chocolate.Also I'd like to say hi to Bay Area Bakers A. and H. M.. Thanks for reading!

The best cookie cookbook out there!
These look fantastic ... wish I could have one.
I love The Good Cookie. Love it!
We love toffee bits and always looking for new ways to use them - I would probably try them with the chocolate covered ones too!
Ivonne - I agree, The Good Cookie is amazing!
Joe - I think Skor is the best chocolate bar! You can never go wrong with chocolate covered toffee can you? :)
Mmmmm! These cookies look fantastic! We'll have to try them - thanks for the recipe. :D
I don't think they're unattractive at all ... These looks highly appealing to me, with each crater promising a lovely hit of toffee. Yum!
BikerMomma - You're welcome!
Tania - They were pretty tasty...the toffee flavour was sutble but present. :)
Update: the girls went crazy over these cookies at my gathering last night. Official word: the recipe is a "keeper"! Thank you.
Anon - Yeah! I'm glad they were a success. :)
