“My favorite part was when my grandfather and I would make a special trip to Firpo’s Bakery for red and green Christmas cookies. ” ~ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Good morning, sweet friends. Tis the season to be baking, “Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la.” So, as promised, here is a favorite recipe for the week. All the recipes you will receive are special in our home and are tried and true. This delicious treat is one of my most favorites and is marvelous with a cup of tea or coffee.
English Butter Toffee Cookies
Ingredients:
1 and 1/2 sticks of butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup English Toffee Bits, (plain – not chocolate covered)
Heat oven to 350. Combine sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until mixture is creamy. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda, reduce speed to low. Beat until well mixed. Stir in toffee bits by hand.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each with the bottom of a glass to – 1 and 1/2 inch circles.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Sprinkle with sugar while warm. Cool completely on wire racks.
Have a beautiful day and weekend. Happy Baking!

Alice, so happy you enjoyed the recipe. I have always thought it was a wonderful cookie. So sorry, I do not have a pattern for the ornament. It would, however, be easy to chart out and stitch. You are certainly welcome to copy it.
