I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Crack Cookies

Crack because they are just that addictive!

Start off with graham cracker/toffee/chocolate crack a.k.a. heaven. Combine that with a buttery cookie dough for the most decadent cookie ever!

Ingredients:

For crack/heaven:
1 cup butter 
1 cup brown sugar 
1 sleeve of graham crackers
1 cup chocolate chips 

For the cookie dough:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/2 tsps baking powder
1 1/4 tsps baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups butter, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 tsps vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 egg white

First, make a pan of crack/heaven.
Boil the brown sugar and butter together in a saucepan. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper then lay out the graham crackers side by side to cover the pan. Pour the hot toffee mixture over the crackers. Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Cover loosely with foil for 5 minutes. Then uncover and spread the melted chocolate with a silicone spatula. Pop in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set. When cold break into small pieces (try not to eat too much of it while you do that!)

For the cookie dough, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Add the vanilla, eggs and egg white and beat until frothy. Add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and mix until combined. Now, if using a mixer bowl, empty the contents into a much larger bowl (my Kitchen Aid bowl wouldn't cut it! Not big enough!) 
Reserve 1 1/2 cups of crack/heaven then fold the rest into the cookie dough. Roll into plum sized balls adding more crack from the reserved stuff with a piece or 2 on the top.
Place on parchment lined sheets 2" apart. 
Bake at 350°F for 12-14 minutes.
Makes 54
