Why is this recipe great? What\u2019s its backstory? <\/h5>\n

This recipe originally started some years ago on the back of a bag of heath bar bits. So simple. But I started playing around over the years, adding spelt flour to make them fluffier and melt in your mouth, and scaling back on the sugar, and up on the cocoa. Now they are a masterpiece! You can either eat them plain as cookies, or at a dinner party they make a fun dessert when they are still slightly warm, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you don\u2019t like heath bars you can substitute whatever other chunks you like (white chocolate chips, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.) Warning\u2026 they will not last long.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Heath Bar Crunch Cookies<\/h5>\n

Serves about 30 cookies Takes approx. 1 hr. <\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span>
\n\u00bd cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
\n\u00bd cup (65 g) cocoa powder
\n\u00bd cup (65 g) spelt flour (if you can\u2019t find it just use all white flour- but it makes them extra melt in your mouth)
\n\u00bd tsp baking soda
\n\u00bc tsp sea salt
\n\u00bd cup (115g) unsalted butter
\n\u00bc cup (50g) white sugar
\n\u00bc cup (50 g) brown sugar
\n\u00bd tsp vanilla extract
\n1 egg
\n1 cup (or more or less depending on your preferences) chopped up heath bar pieces<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pre-heat oven to 375f\/190c.<\/li>\n
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients (flours, cocoa, baking soda, salt)<\/li>\n
  3. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter, sugars, and vanilla (with egg beaters ideally)<\/li>\n
  4. Add in eggs, and beat once again until fully mixed<\/li>\n
  5. Add in dry ingredients, stirring well to combine<\/li>\n
  6. Stir in your toffee bits (or if you prefer chocolate chips or any other little nibbles, that\u2019s fine too!)<\/li>\n
  7. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper, and drop by tablespoons onto the sheet.<\/li>\n
  8. Bake 8-10 minutes (it will take a few sheets, you can\u2019t bake them all at once). They will still look soft but they will set as they cool- do not overbake!<\/li>\n
  9. Cool a few minutes on the sheet, and then remove them carefully with a spatula to a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The inspiration for this started with a \u2018back of the bag\u2019 recipe on a package of heath bar bits some years ago, but I\u2019ve adapted it to what I believe is true perfection!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
