METHOD
-
line
rimless baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside
-
in
large bowl, beat butter with granulated and brown sugars until
fluffy. beat in egg and vanilla. in separate bowl, whisk together
flour, baking soda and salt; stir into butter mixture in 2
additions. stir in toffee bars, chocolate chips and pecans.
-
roll dough by heaping tablespoonfuls
into twenty 1 ¾ inch balls. place 2 inches apart of prepared pans.
flatten to ½ inch thickness, rounding edges with fingers. bake in
top and bottom thirds of 350 degree oven, rotating and switching
pans halfway through, until edges are golden, about 12 minutes.
transfer to racks; let cool completely.
-
spread
about ¼ cup ice cream on bottom of each of 10 cookies; top ice cream
with second cookie. roll sides in toffee bits.
-
wrap
individually in plastic wrap; freeze in airtight container until
firm, about 4 hours.
NOTES
-
really yummy,
but they're really big, so make the cookies pretty small.
-
i made them on
a hot day, and the ice cream was soft. it would have been
better to freeze the cookies before assembling them, so that the ice
cream stayed more firm.
-
i think I
would skip the skor bars next time and use smarties, especially if
I'm making them for kids.
