Toffee Shortbread Cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Sift together flour and salt into a bowl.
  3. 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).
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. Flatten each cookie slightly either with your hand or with the bottom of a drinking glass.
  7. 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.
