3. Add the butter and mix in an electric mixer or with a fork until well blended.

4. Mix in the vegetable oil.

5. Add each egg one by one until well blended.

NOTE: The consistency of your dough should be like a thick paste or clay, if it's too loose or runny, add a some flour until correct consistency is acquired.

6. With the mixer on low, or with you hand, mix in the toffee bits and chocolate chips until well blended.

7. Shape portions of dough into 1-inch balls.

8. On a *greased* pan place each ball about 2 inches away from each other.

9. Bake until the bottoms on the cookies are light brown (about 10 mins) and remove immediately, let them cool on a plate or cooling rack.

A Cup of Flour, a Half Cup of Sugar, and a Dash of Me

The title is cheesy I know, I just wanted to be clever.

Well, I've been baking since I was 8 years old. My grandmother showed me the ropes and I fell in love with it. I'm 18 now and I've got a handful of recipes that I would like to share with you. I bake like I cook, and by that I mean I experiment a lot, I don't measure, I don't use heaping amounts and I know when something is done by touch and smell, but for the sake of sharing my recipes, I've put my estimates into measurements.

I want to use this blog to share my recipes, give advice, recommend other people's recipes, and even get recipes from you.

Just so you know, this wont only be focused on cookie recipes. I'll put up recipes on other desserts and dishes, bakeries and restaurants, and recommended products to use.

Also, please don't be the one "who stole the cookie from the cookie jar." C'mon give me some credit here. I didn't slave over a mountain of dishes after experimenting for nothing.
