Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Toffee bits
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract, ensuring it's fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Fold in the toffee bits and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm to create a thick disc shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to retain a soft texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are cool, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip one half of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then place them on wax or parchment paper to set.
Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving or storing. You can refrigerate the cookies to speed up the setting process if desired.
Enjoy your Dipped Toffee Nut Sand Tarts with a cup of coffee or tea, or share them as a festive holiday treat!
