I really should call my recipe for Small Batch Heath Bar Cookies my OMG ("Oh my God!") cookies instead, because that has been the response from everyone who has eaten one lately. Ironically, this is a recipe I found handwritten on a card in the bottom of my file cabinet, which had a smiley face on it -- the old-school version of OMG. (Obviously, I had the same response to the cookies and copied the recipe from a friend.)

 Recipe included with this story: Small Batch Heath Bar Cookies 

Seriously, these will not disappoint the most discerning cookie connoisseur. You have a hint of chocolate, the chewy goodness of toffee and the sure presence of pecans surrounded by butter-sugar dough that is delicious by itself. I've sized the batch to make 20 cookies, which is helpful when you don't want to be tied to the oven for over an hour baking tray after tray. For a small household like mine, there are still enough to enjoy and share without tiring of them.

As always, let me know what you think at kitchenscoop.com. In the meantime, whip up a batch of these cookies. (I'll be listening for the OMGs.) Enjoy!
