Peanut Toffee Cookies

Thursday, February 28, 2013

I've not been baking a lot of cookies lately. I seem to have been focused on cakes and bars. Variety is always good, but it felt like it was time to get back to scooping cookie dough. These cookies manage to be traditional and nontraditional at the same time. At their heart, they are a basic vanilla cookie. But, the presence of cake flour changes their consistency enough to create a soft and light cookie.

I have a slight obsession with shortbread. I'm fascinated by how its simplicity translates into so much flavor. I also have more than a slight obsession with the combination of sweet and salty. I even dedicated a BoB Collection to that magical fusion of flavors. These shortbread cookies are the blessed union of those two addictions.

This year, I very excitedly signed up to participate in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap. I missed out on the fun last year, so I was sure to get my name on the list this year. Not only is it a fun way to share cookies, it also benefits Cookies for Kids' Cancer. The idea is that food bloggers sign up and then receive addresses of three food bloggers to send cookies to for the holidays. In return, you receive cookies from three different bloggers. I received some delicious cookies from Wine Imbiber, Kara Miller, and Mika Abogado. Thanks, ladies!

If you're looking for cookies that are quick and easy but look like anything but, look no further. And, honestly, aren't we always looking for those kinds of desserts? These little almond cookies are not too sweet. And, actually, they're pretty tasty on their own. They can be made in one bowl. That's always a plus, but especially so when I'm doing so much baking.

I love chocolate and nuts and really just about anything in my cookies. During the holidays, our inner bakers tend to go into overdrive and set sights on the more decadent desserts. Sometimes it's nice to have something a little more understated. That's where these cookies come into play.
