I made these amped up chocolate chip cookies, from an Adam Gertler recipe in the May ’11 Food Network Magazine, after dinner tonight. They were delicious, I think I may be addicted to toffee bits in my cookies.

The original recipe used peanut butter chips and more pretzel M&Ms, but I adjusted to what Adam and I both like. He actually HATES the pretzel M&Ms, and neither of us like peanut butter chips. I set aside half the batter for him before adding the pretzel bits, and that worked out fine. For the original recipe, click here. This is my adaptation.
