Chewy Toffee Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon table salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup all-vegetable shortening
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 (8 ounce) bag toffee pieces
- 1 cup turbinado sugar
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the work bowl of a food processor, add flour, pecans, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt: process until nuts are finely ground into flour.
- In a large bowl, beat butter, shortening, white and dark brown sugars at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add molasses, eggs, and vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended.
- Gradually add flour mixture, beathing just until dough forms.
- Stir in chocolate morsels and toffee bits.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls; then roll balls in turbinado sugar. Do not flatten. NOTE: You may need more turbinado sugar - just use more if you need more. I ended up with probably closer to 2 cups.
- Place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly flattened.
- Let cool on pans for 15 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
- NOTE: you may find it useful to rinse and dry hands every so often, as that helps the dough roll into a ball more easily.
