Caramel Toffee Cookies

It’s Cookie Friday and I got a batch of fresh cookies for you. Typical “American” cookies – sweet, big and delicious! These Caramel Toffee Cookies are perfect with a cup of coffee in the afternoon to give you a little sugar boost and some energy to run a marathon… or two ;P

If you stop by more often on this blog you might have noticed already that I am cutting back on sugar in most of my recipes. I have to reduce sugar in my diet due to some health issues. This means I have to eat less sugar, but it does not mean, my friends and family have to do the same. So from time to time I am going back to my old habits and bake the “sweet & dangerous” stuff ;) Well not really dangerous, but definitely with a lot of sugar. While others can eat half a baking sheet of this cookies, I am munching on half a cookie… which is fine for me :P

These (not so) little fellas do actually have a good amount of sugar in them – be warned. Not only the sugar in the dough but also a good amount of soft caramels aka. toffees (the soft ones, not hard candy). Which is essentially also sugar ;) And I also rolled them in a mix of cinnamon and sugar because it was not enough already. So be warned. Again. But besides that – really delicious cookies! You should try. Even if it’s only a bite.

What are your favorite flavors for cookies? Chocolate? Caramel? Nuts? Or maybe something with fruits or berries? Let me know in the comments!

Instructions

1. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Mix the flour with the baking soda and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add half of the chopped caramel toffees and fold in. Make about 14 balls out of the dough, press into the remaining toffees (the top only) and place on a wooden board or similar and place in the fridge for about 1 hour.

 

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and roll each dough ball in that mixture, place with space in between on the prepared baking sheet (they spread a lot) and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
