Cookies #2 - Coffee Toffee

Last week's cookie, that I didn't make until this week, was the Coffee Toffee -- below is the picture of the cookies in the book.

 

 

Ingredients:

 

2 cups all purpose flour 

1/4 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

2 T. instant espresso powder

1 T. hot water

10 T. unsalted butter, melted

1 1/4 c. sugar

2 large eggs

1 t. vanilla extract

3/4 c. toffee bits

 

The cookies turned out pretty good.

 

However, again, the cookies were a little flat.  And again -- not sure the issue. I'm still not sure my oven temperature is right or that my butter was the right temperature.  Nevada says the butter is the issue -- she's probably right.  Still working it out.

These cookies were pretty good. They stayed soft, probably because I cooked them five minutes less than the recipe called for.
