Cooking Tips |
|
*Great cookie for
shipping- it travels well. |
|
**Toffee bits are
available in most market's baking aisles (near the
chocolate chips). |

**To really make
these cookies sparkly, use "Bright White Sparkling
Sugar"- which can be found in cooking supply stores.

****Restaurant
Quality!- would
make it again. "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!"
