Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (10 oz bag)
  • 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix (1 box)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1.5 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz Heath toffee bits
  • 1 cup pecans, toasted (optional)

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cookie scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your cookies bake evenly and do not stick.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1.5 cups brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, cream together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the 1 tbsp vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the 1.5 cups bittersweet chocolate chips, 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 8 oz Heath toffee bits, and 1 cup toasted pecans if using.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between each scoop.
  8. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  9. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Freeze the cookie dough in individual scoops for later baking.
  • Warm cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for that freshly baked taste.
