| Ann, I love your gardening philosophy! A small lawn is good for playing bocce or croquet, but other than that it's a waste of space. I only made one type cookie this season, but it fits your request. They're melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Toffee Butter Cookies Cindy...These are my favorite!
(This came from the Land O Lakes butter package.) 1 cup sugar
3/4 cup salted butter
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup English toffee bits Combine sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add flour, baking powder and soda; reduce speed to low until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in toffee bits by hand. Shape into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar, place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten each with bottom of glass to 2-inch circles. (If glass sticks, dip in sugar.) Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are light golden. Do not over bake. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely on rack. ~Marilyn Cindy's Notes: I use unsalted butter and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Also increase the toffee bits to 3/4 cup. And, it's probably my mixer, but I find it easier to stir the flour in. |
