"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped and every so slightly toasted
3/4 cup English toffee bits, such as Heath
1 oz. good quality chocolate, melted (optional) or add mini chocolate chips to the dough
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

Cream the butter and powdered sugar together until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then add the flour and salt just until combined. Stir in the pecans, toffee (and chocolate chips, if adding).

Form into small balls (1/2 oz. each) and place on baking sheet. (They don’t spread too much, so you can do at least 20 per sheet.) I flattened them slightly with a flat glass lightly coated with powdered sugar, but you don’t have to do that.

Bake until the edges are just starting to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (I baked mine 13:30 minutes.) Cool on wire rack. Melt chocolate in microwave safe glass dish in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between each time, until smooth. Dip half of cooled cookies in chocolate. Set on waxed paper lined plate. Cool until chocolate is hardened. (I got 43 half ounce cookies.)
