Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter , softened
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar , lightly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • cup toffee pieces
  • 8 oz chocolate (225g) , chopped in small pieces
  • 1 tbsp vegetable shortening , or butter
  • cup toffee pieces

Instructions

  • In a large bowl beat the butter and sugars until fluffy. 
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • With the mixer on low - beat in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt - adding about ½ of the flour at a time.
  • Beat in the ⅔ cup toffee pieces.
  • Divide the dough in 2 balls. 
  • On a piece of wax paper, form each into a log shape about 1 inch in diameter. Then roll the log in the wax paper, twist the ends and place in the fridge. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or up to 4 days, or freeze.
  • If logs are frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight before baking. 
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350F degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. 
  • Slice each log into discs about ¼ to ⅓ inch (about ½ centimetre) in thickness.
  • Place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the tops look set. 
  • In a small bowl melt the chocolate and shortening in short 30 second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each.
  • Dip half of each cookie in the melted chocolate and sprinkle with toffee bits. 

Notes

*Make sure to use high quality butter, otherwise cookies will spread too thin. 
**Cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
