Ingredients
For the cookie mix
1 ⅓cupssemi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
½cupall-purpose flour
¼teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonbaking powder
¾cuplight brown sugar, packed
1 ½cupsmedium desiccated unsweetened coconut
1cuptoffee baking pieces (Skor bits)
For the cookie dough
¼cupbutter, cut into small cubes
2large eggs
1teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
For the cookie mix
Place chocolate chips in a small jar (250ml). Layer remaining ingredients in a large jar (750ml), starting with the flour, salt, baking powder, brown sugar, coconut, then toffee bits. Press down slightly and level as you add each layer. Secure with lid.
For the cookie dough
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place ½ cup chocolate chips in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds, then stir. Heat 30 to 60 seconds more until chocolate is melted. Stir well.
Add butter to chocolate and stir until melted. Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla. Stir until blended.
Add half the cookie mix to the wet mixture and stir, breaking up any lumps. Add remaining mix and chocolate chips, then stir until well-combined.
Drop heaping tablespoons (size 40 cookie scoop) at least 2” apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Press tops down slightly with fingers. Bake 10 minutes or until edges are just firm to the touch (middles will be soft). Do not over bake. Allow cookies to stand on cookie sheet for 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to cooling rack.
Notes
If you want to use one large jar instead (1 litre size), layer ingredients in order with chocolate chips being at the top. I suggest cutting a disk of parchment paper to separate the toffee baking pieces and chocolate chips.
Use a funnel, piping bag or small scoop to carefully add each ingredient. Be sure to break up any lumps before adding.
This cookie mix will keep in a dark, cool, dry place, such as a cupboard or pantry for up to 3 months. Be sure to use fresh ingredients when you put together.
