Chewy Toffee Cookies: Old time favorite that never ages at all!

 I can remember that when I started baking (it's a long, long time ago, haha), at that time "Mrs. Fields' cookies" is one of something that I really want to make. So, what did I do?, I just bought a book with her name printed on the cover, haha.

.............................. is one of my first collection of cookbooks too. And I still can remember the day that I made the cookie by following her recipe and end up looking like a sheet pan, -*- everything was so hard to do and hard to understand for me. 
My problem is simple, I just couldn't measure the flour using the cup measurement, I hate to use cup because I can't control the result, one time the cookie came out fine the other time it's a disaster. So I read more (and buy more ^^) until I start to understand that when reading the recipe with cup measurement, you have to know what kind of measurement is, it's a lightly spoon, or dip and sweep. Both of them give you different amount and weight of flour, that can make your cookie turn out well or look like a sheet pan (like mine, haha). After baking with more success than failure for a while, I took this book out again and bake this cookie, and it's good! It's one of my brother's favorite after he had to eat a lot of disaster sweet that made by me.
This time I want to go back to something old again ^^, the recipe that made the unexperienced baker like me smile brightly. I think that many people will love this recipe too, it contains toffee and chocolate bar, both of my favorite treat, haha. The cookies look a bit like biscotti but it's not, Debbi call it logs. You can enjoy it as it is or dip it in a cup of milk or hot cocoa, it's delicious in every ways. 


For information about cup measurement and weight measurement conversion you can copy the table that I make from here.
