SPARKLING BUTTER TOFFEE COOKIES
www.RecipeGirl.com

1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
½ cup toffee bits
additional sugar for rolling

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper (or leave them ungreased).

2. Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often until creamy.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Add to wet mixture and beat until well mixed. Stir in toffee bits by hand.

4. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar. Place 2-inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Flatten each with bottom of glass to 1½-inch circles (if glass sticks, dip in sugar). Cookies may also be flattened with a fork in a crisscross pattern.

5. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are just lightly browned. Do not overbake. Sprinkle with additional sugar while warm. Cool completely.

Yield: About 3 dozen

“These were ADDICTING!! I did use the suggested Sparkling Sugar, which I think really made a difference in terms of how they look. I used a fork to do the crisscross pattern- the pattern disappears as the cookies are baked. I then studded a few additional toffee pieces into the top to make sure they showed up in the baked cookie. As soon as they came out of the oven, I sprinkled a little more Sparkling Sugar on top of the hot cookies. They turned out beautiful and sparkly!”
