DISNEYLAND: MINNIE'S CHOCOLATE CHIP SUPREME COOKIES

Funny story.  I'm kind of a cookie snob.  Well, whilst at Disneyland my Mom bought some cookies that said they won the national bakers contest of something-or-other so we tried them.  I was a bit skeptical but I'm so glad I tried them because they are to die for!!  After hours of searching the Internet I found this recipe and it is definitely equal OR BETTER to Minnie's Chocolate Chip Supreme cookies that you buy at Disneyland!!  YAY.  =)

1 cup butter (2 sticks), softened to room temperature
1 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup powdered sugar (this is NOT a typo, it IS powdered sugar, NOT granulated sugar)
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2  2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup dark chocolate chunks
3/4 cup Wilton Candy Melts (light cocoa wafers), roughly chopped
3/4 cup toffee bits
1 cup chopped pecans

Place softened butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl. Cream with an electric mixer on high for 3-5 minutes. Add the egg, water and vanilla. Mix well. Add in flour, salt and baking soda. Mix well to incorporate, stopping once to scrape sides of bowl then mix again. Add in chocolate and nuts then mix just enough to distribute throughout dough.
 
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
 
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a 1/3 measuring cup place heaping scoops of dough onto cookie sheets. You can fit 6 per cookie sheet.
 
Place the baking sheets of dough directly into your freezer. Let them chill for 15-20 minutes until firm. This will firm up the butter in the dough and prevent excessive spreading. Remember, we want the cookies to be thick mounds, not flat discs. Remove from freezer and place into hot (400 degree) oven. Set timer for 2 minutes. Blasting the dough at the high temperature will create a crisp outer shell while keeping the inside moist.
 
After 2 minutes lower heat to 350 degrees and bake cookies for an additional 15 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes on pans. Slide the cookies onto cooling racks and let cool.
