Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have a candidate for my Christmas baking list.  Of course, I will most likely make them before then.  I need to make sure they are OK, right?  I don't want to give bad cookies as gifts, right? 

3 C. old fashioned or quick cooking oats
3 C. all purpose flour
2 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
3/4 C. butter, softened
2 C. sugar
2 C. packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 C. semisweet chocolate chips
1 C. toffee chips
! C. chopped pecans, toasted

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Line several baking sheets with parchment paper.

Place oats in food processor; pulse until finely ground.  Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In another large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla at medium speed for 2 minutes.  Add flour mixture; mix until blended.  Stir in pulverized oats, chocolate chips, toffee chips and pecans.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on baking sheets.  Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until brown.  Cool on wire rack.
