Best Cookie Ever

So I found this amazing cookie recipe from The Star Telegram. They had a cookie contest and over 100 people from Ft Worth entered. I made the recipe that won the Grand Prize! Well, the cookie was amazing but I subtracted and added a few things and ended up with an even better cookie!

Here's MY version if the chocolate toffee treat:

Chocolate Toffee Cookies

3/4 cup butter-flavored Crisco
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon Vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons. cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 8 oz. bag Heath English Toffee Bits
1 Tbs Coffee graduals

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350 F.
2. In 6 quart bowl, beat shortening and softened butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in sugars and continue beating 2-3 minutes.
3. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and mix in well.
4. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a separate bowl. Mix well with a whisk.
5. Stir in flour mixture, incorporating well; follow with oats and mix well.
6. Add chocolate chips & Heath English Toffee Bits. Mix well; dough will be stiff and may need mixing by hand.
7. Spray cookie sheets lightly with no-stick cooking spray.
8. Drop rounded 1/8 cup dough (I use a medium cookie scoop 2 Tbl size) onto the cookie sheets. For a standard size cookie sheet, I spaced the dough balls 3 across and 4 down for a dozen per sheet.
9. Bake in 350 F oven for 11 minutes depending on the crispness desired.
10. Remove from oven and let them rest on the cookie sheet for 1-2 minutes before removing them with a metal spatula to a cooling rack.

Heres a few pics of what they look like...
