Heath Cookies

The dark sugar and the dark cocoa make this Heath cookie taste just like America's favorite candy bar!

This recipe is taken from the HEATH crinkle package. I wasn't sure how it would turn out because, well, I like a little more "umpf" in my flavors, but it came out pleasingly tasty. 

• 2 cups All Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup Dutch cocoa (you can remove 1 tbsp of the Dutch and replace it with 1 tbsp of black cocoa for a deeper cocoa look and taste)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 sticks of room-temperature butter
• 12 tablespoons white sugar
• 6 tablespoons dark brown sugar
• 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 tsp good vanilla extract
• 2 eggs- room temperature
• 1 whole package of Heath bits

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder (s), baking soda and salt.
2. Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the sugars and cream for 2 minutes.
4. Add in the vanilla extract and mix.
5. Incorporate eggs, one at a time, until incorporated.
6. Using 1/2 cup measures, add in the flour (dry goods).
7. Finish by adding in the Heath bits.
8. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
9. Place 1 tbsp (you can, if you like, make them into balls) of dough on parchment paper until your tray is full. 
10. Bake for 8-10 minutes- I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you under-bake slightly. 
11. For a holiday look, roll in sugar, finishing sugar, or clear sprinkles before baking.
