1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs (room temperature)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 package (8 ounces) toffee bits

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Beat butter with mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add brown sugar and vanilla; mix well.

Whisk eggs and 1 teaspoon water. Add to butter mixture; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Stir in pecans, toffee and chips. Chill 1 hour or until dough is firm. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes, until lightly browned on edges only. Cool on wire racks. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
