Milk Chocolate Chip Plus Cookies

A while ago, the youth in our ward had a cookie baking contest and it was these cookies vs. the Nieman Marcus cookies. And these cookies were the winner. You are asking yourself, how can anything beat the Nieman Marcus cookie? These cookies, with their toffee goodness, are remarkable. (And I think someone mentioned the Nieman Marcus cookies had oatmeal and that turned a bunch of the teenagers off) Anyway, give these babies a whirl. They are addicting. Thanks to Katie Bowles for sharing her recipe!

2 ¼ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 12oz pkg milk chocolate chips
½ bag Skor or Heath Toffee bits
¼ package flaked coconut

Preheat oven to 350.
In a small bowl combine: flour, soda, salt and set aside
In a large bowl combine: butter, sugars and vanilla. Cream together several minutes and add eggs, continue to cream for several minutes.
Gradually add flour mixture and while mixing well to combine ingredients, do not over mix as this toughens the dough. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bake each sheet of cookies for ONLY 9 MINUTES! Do not over bake. Let them sit on the sheet for another few minutes after they have come out of the oven, then remove them to a cooling rack.
