Crispy Toffee Cookies
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 14 cup granulated sugar
- 12 cup packed light brown sugar
- 12 cup raw almonds, chopped (we use chopped blanched almonds)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 14 cups flour, plus more for the work surface
- 12 teaspoon baking powder
- 7 ounces crushed hard chocolate-covered english toffee bars, such as Daim, Heath (see headnote) or 7 ounces Skor English toffee bits (see headnote)
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Note: The dough needs to be wrapped and refrigerated for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Beat the butter and sugars together in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held mixer on medium-high speed until light, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to low and add the almonds, salt, flour, baking powder and toffee bits.
- Finally, incorporate the egg.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape it into a uniform log about 3 inches in diameter and 10 inches long.
- Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 440 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the log of dough into 1/2 inch rounds.
- Transfer the rounds to the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are light brown, rotating the sheet front to back about halfway through baking.
- If the cookies lose some of their shape during baking, you can remedy that during the few minutes immediately after they come out of the oven.
- Use a metal spatula to push in any wayward dough and coax the cookie back into roundness.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool thoroughly before storing in an airtight container.
