adapted from a recipe in Diane Mott Davidson's mystery novel The Main Corpse






List of Ingredients



• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
  
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 2 cups flour
  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  
• 1 cup Hersey's Bits O' Brickle Toffee Bits
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
   
   
2. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugars until creamy. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa mixing until thoroughly combined. The batter will be stiff. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each one. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Add oats, chocolate chips and toffee bits and mix until combined.
   
   
3. Using a 2-inch scoop, drop batter about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Bake for 11 - 12 minutes. The cookies will still be slightly soft in the middle. Let cool on pan for 2 minutes then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
