Day 1: Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies
Today is National Cookie Day so I thought it would be perfect starting point for this year's 12 Days of Cookies! I found this recipe on Martha Stewart's website this morning. Don't forget to check back tomorrow for another recipe.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled), plus some for finger tips
- 1/4 teas baking soda
- 1/8 teas salt
- 4 Tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 chocolate-covered toffee candy bars (1.4 oz each), chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add peanut butter and egg; beat until smooth. With mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture. Stir in toffee.
Using 1 level tablespoon batter per cookie, drop onto baking sheets, about 1 inch apart; flatten slightly with floured fingertips. Bake until the edges are golden brown, 16-18 minutes. Rotating the cookie sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies immediately to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
