I lied to y’all and I feel SO BAD ABOUT IT.
I had planned to post these toffee shortbread cookies the day after my first trimester update (like I said in that post) but then… life happened and work was crazy then we went to Hawaii for 10 days and I’m basically a horrible person ha. BUT today I’m back with these AMAZING toffee shortbread cookies for you!!!
Can you ever forgive me?!
What if I bake these toffee shortbread cookies and bring them to your house?! Creepy? Kinda. BUT holy moly. These cookies y’all… THEY ARE SO WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS.
We’ve got a pretty standard shortbread cookie recipe here that I junked up by adding chopped SKOR BARS to make toffee shortbread cookies. Y’all… in my opinion, skor bars are the most unrated candy bars ever. Thin slab of butter toffee covered in a milk chocolate… drool. THEY ARE SO GOOD. Have you had one?! If not, stop reading this and go buy one NOW.
Back? Good. Isn’t it delicious?!
TOLD YOU.
Ready for this amazing toffee shortbread cookie recipe?! Like a month late? I thought so lolz.
TOFFEE SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temp
- 1 ⅓ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 skor bars (1.4 oz each), chopped
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract then mix until combined. Reduce speed to low then add in the flour and salt then beat until a dough comes together. Finally, mix in the skor bar pieces until evenly distributed.
Pour dough out onto a floured work surface then divide the mixture in two. Mold each half into a log about 8 inches long. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours (overnight is a fine option too!).
Once dough is chilled, preheat oven to 350F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice each log into 12 evenly sized cookies then place them on the prepared baking sheets (12 on each sheet). Bake the for 12-16 minutes or until brown and set around the edges.
