Combine flour, baking powder and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Fold in milk chocolate and semisweet chips, toffee bits and pecans. Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in preheated oven. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to cool completely on wire racks.

These were a great, hearty, just add milk cookie. I made half the batch with chopped up pretzel sticks instead of pecans for the non-nut-lovers in our family. They were equally as tasty in their own way.

Fantastic!!! I use mini Hershey Kisses, semi-sweet choc. chips and Skor bits. Have made them many times and they are always a big hit!

This was the best cookie I ever made! I took them to a party and they were a hit. Everyone was impressed, and little did they now how simple they were to make.

Great cookie, very easy. I left the nuts out for some family members and it was still good.

Made these today and they are wonderful.Recipe worked great,baking time perfect.
I doubled the recipe.
With that said I didn't use all butter as someone told me to get a perfect cookie not to hard or soft one shouldn't use all butter.So I used half and half.
In place of the milk chocolate chips I used Peanutbutter & Milk choc.chips.(I prefer dark chocolate)and used 1-1/2 cups of the toffee bits but next time will use 2 cups.I also added about 6 Tbls of flour as dough seemed sticky.I used parchment paper rather then greased baking sheets.
Will be on Christmas cookie list for next year.
Thanks for a great recipe.
I was so pleased with how the recipe worked.
Above in Sarah's review she cut down on the sugar I think then I will too.And it is good too know the egg substitute will work.
