Cooking instruction summary:
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and frothy. Set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer. Place a smaller pot or heat-proof bowl over the simmering water, and place the butter and the chocolate in the smaller pot/bowl. Melt the chocolate, stirring, in this double-boiler set-up, until it is just fully melted, but not longer, then remove from the heat. Whisk the chocolate into the egg mixture, whisking vigorously as you add the warm chocolate to the eggs to help prevent the eggs from setting. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and the baking powder. Gently fold the flour into the chocolate batter, then stir in the toffee bits. Cover the batter and leave out at room temperature for three hours – it will thicken as it sits. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop rounded spoonfuls that are slightly smaller than a golf ball out of the batter, and place on the baking tray about 3 inches apart. Don’t crowd the cookies – they will spread out a lot as they bake. Press your thumb lightly into the center of each cookie to make a small valley. Pull a teaspoon-sized ball of caramel out of the caramel jar and place in this valley. Bake the cookies for 11-13 minutes, until the chocolate tops are cracked and the caramel has spread. As you remove the cookies from the oven, immediately place another small ball of caramel into the valley to give the cookies a pretty finish – the caramel will melt into the edges of the warm cookie but won’t run all over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
