Easy twist to a classic holiday treat. Great for cookies swaps and holiday gifts! The toffee can be substituted (even omitted) for different flavour applications – sweet or savoury! If you go savoury adjust the salt content.
Ingredients
- Butter 341g (room temperature)
- Icing Sugar 120g
- All Purpose Flour 375g
- Toffee Bits 75g
- Salt 6g
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Sift together flour and salt into a bowl.
- Put butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed-high speed until fluffy (3-5 minutes), scraping down sides of bowl. Gradually add icing sugar; beat until pale and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
- Reduce the speed to low, add flour mixture all at once; mix until just combined. Add the toffee bits and mix by hand until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop (1.75” diameter is what I use) drop cookies onto a lined baking tray 1 inch apart (because this is a short dough and not a lot of sugar the cookies will not spread much).
- Flatten each cookie slightly either with your hand or with the bottom of a drinking glass.
- Bake at 325F for 22-25 minutes or until just starting to brown around the edges.
Makes approximately 24 cookies.
Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks.
