Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Toffee bits
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until the dough comes together.
Fold in the toffee bits and chopped almonds with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Then roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to ensure a tender texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Serve and enjoy your Toffee Almond Sandies with a cup of tea or coffee!
