Time 52m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 package toffee bits
1 cup coarsely ground almonds
4 ounces milk chocolate
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend sugars together on medium speed. Add butter and mix to form a grainy paste. Add eggs and vanilla and mix at medium speed until light and fluffy. At low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and then the toffee bits. Mix until just blended; do not over-mix.
  • Place ground nuts in a small bowl. Using hands, roll balls of dough into 1 to 1 1/2-inch balls, then roll in the ground nuts. Place on cookie sheets several inches apart. Bake approximately 22 minutes and then transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
  • Melt the chocolate with the vegetable oil in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Drizzle melted chocolate over cooled cookies. Place cookies on a cookie sheet and place in freezer or refrigerator until chocolate is firmly set.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. The almond roca topping is the perfect finishing touch.

I love that this recipe uses almond paste instead of flour. It gives the cookies a really unique and delicious flavor.

Made these cookies over the weekend and they were a huge hit! So easy to make and they taste just like the store-bought kind.
