I'm having my tea out on my glider on the patio today. Would you care to join me for some cookies and a cup of tea?
I'm using my Brentwood English ironstone teacup, by Adams. This pattern was made from 1969-1988. This pattern also comes in a brown shamrock and is called Sharon.
I tried my first Heath Bar when I was about seven years old, and from that moment on, it was always a favorite of mine! When I saw this recipe for a small batch of Heath Bar cookies in the newspaper, from Kitchen Scoops, I knew it would be a winner. One step was left out in the original recipe and I've corrected it.
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
4 finely chopped Heath bars (I used only two regular size bars, which when chopped was 1/2 cup)
½ cup chopped pecans
In medium bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
In
the large bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the butter and sugar
until light and creamy, about 2 minutes on medium-high. Add the egg and
vanilla and mix to incorporate. Now add the flour mixture only until just combined. Turn off the mixer and stir in (by hand)
the candy bars and pecans. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for
20 to 30 minutes, or until the dough is nice and firm.
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees. Drop cookie dough in scoops about 2 inches apart
onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until
lightly browned on the edges. Cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes and
then transfer to a cookie rack to cool completely. Store covered.
Makes 20 cookies.

ReplyDeleteYum! I also just checked out your 4th of July cookie with the fruit star...saw it on the widget at the bottom of your post. I HAVE to make that. :)
ReplyDeleteI would gobble these cookies up in a heartbeat! I love Heath Bars :) I just made sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies on Friday so I am stocked up right now, but the minute they are gone I will be making these.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, my friend :) XO

Haha, I had been registering 'health bars' and then realized you were referring to a chocolate bar called Heath. I've never heard of them, so perhaps they're not a Canadian goody. Anything you bake is yummy and these look delicious.
ReplyDeleteThat cup is so interesting with blue shamrocks! Your cookies look yummy and heath is always a good thing :)
ReplyDeleteThese cookies look and sound delicious and always nice with a cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteI would love to join you! My daughter and I were in your area on Saturday and I thought of you. It would be so neat to meet in person. Thanks for the cookie recipe ~ sounds really good!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try these cookies, Kitty...thank you SO much for sharing your corrected version with us. I can almost taste them.
What a pretty cup & saucer, too!
I've never had a Heath bar. I had to Google it to see what it's made of! Sounds delish! I'll have to buy several so I can "taste test" them before putting them into cookies! :-) Or maybe I'll just swing by your house and invite myself over!
ReplyDeletePinning this recipe and putting Heath bars on the grocery list!
Kitty, My hubby would love those cookies, Heath bars are one of his favorites!
ReplyDeleteTea on the patio with your sweet angel is lovely. That is a stunning blue tea cup! And your cookies look delicious. Heath bars were my favorite when I was a teen.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I LOVE Heath Bars. I recently found a bag of Heath Bar Bits in the baking section, near the chocolate chips I think. Saves the work....... LOL

ReplyDeleteAs a child this was my favorite candy. I didn't get many so it was special. These cookies look terrific. I am printing this out Kitty. After linky failure last week and this morning I switched as you can see to In Linkz and it's working. Thanks for coming by!
