Sparkling Butter Toffee Cookies

 

 

Crisp but chewy butter cookie...
 

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
