Ingredients:  
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped and toasted
1/2 cup Toffee bits, optional
Directions:
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Add flour, cinnamon powder, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder and mix until just combined. Mix in pecans and toffee bits until evenly distributed. Chill dough for 30-45 minutes to make it easier to handle. Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll into balls. The chilled dough will seem a bit crumbly but the warmth of your hands will help bring the dough together into small balls. Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 11-14 minutes or until cookies are golden brown and firm along the edges. They will be "poofy" in the center and deflate as they cool. If they don't deflate fully to your liking, you can press down gently with the back of a spoon. Makes 30.

Optional: Roll each cookie dough ball in a bowl of granulated sugar.
