Happy Sunday blog readers! While it seems that everyone in New England is Battening down the hatches for Hurricane Sandy, aka "Frankenstorm" I decided to ensure that we will have fresh baked goods on hand if it is in fact the end of the world. I've had a bag of toffee bits in the pantry for a while, so I thought they might be a nice addition to a standard oatmeal cookie. here's what I came up with.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cups brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
dash salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups oats
10 ounce bag of toffee bits
Per the usual process, mix together your butter and sugar, add in your wet ingredients, and lastly your dry ingredients, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Add in your toffee last. Some walnuts or even some chopped pecans might be tasty in this also.
Roll your cookies into tablespoon sized balls, and space them out on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Definitely give these guys room to spread out, and don't skip the parchment. The toffee makes the final product sticky, and could be tough to get off a bare cookie sheet.
Into the oven at 350F for 12 minutes.
Chewy goodness. Definitely let these cool off on the cookie sheets for a while before you move them, as they're quite soft right out of the oven.
Delish. Enjoy! And to the east coasters, I hope everyone fares well with the impending storm of doom. I myself am slightly skeptical, but if you are easily frightened, don't turn on the weather channel. Those guys convinced even pregnant me to take in all the patio furniture.
Happy Baking!
