The holidays are here- Give cookies!

The best gifts should be from the heart or in this case, the oven. I love to give baked treats as a gift during the holiday seasons. Please enjoy  these toffee macadamia nut cookies!

  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
  • flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

These taste even better if you age them overnight in the fridge — just scoop them out, put them in a sealed container. You can bake them right from the fridge and they’ll be even more caramel-y, toffee-y, and delicious!

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking soda. Set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg well. Stir in the vanilla. Stir in the flour mix until there are no more streaks, being careful not to over mix. Stir in the toffee and macadamia nuts.

Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookies and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Sprinkle each cookie generously with the flaky salt and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft looking. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and enjoy warm!

Are you looking for a place to host your next pop up restaurant?

Hi all-

I went to a pop up restaurant last week. What is a pop up restaurant? It’s where foodies rent out a space such as a retail store, outside space or even an art gallery and convert it to a restaurant for a small amount of time. The problem with this is it can be difficult to obtain a proper food permit and the cooking conditions can be dangerous as there isn’t always proper electricity and cooking surfaces. Although the food was divine, the chefs looked like they were having a terrible time cooking under those conditions. Too bad they didn’t know about the Restaurant for Hire, Inc. space that is a full restaurant space for rent. Hey are you interested in hosting a pop up restaurant? I know just the place!

Want to plan a private dinner where you are the host?

Hi all-

I recently encountered a fellow blogger who wanted to plan a intimate dinner with about 75 of her closet family members and friends. The problem was, she couldn’t find a restaurant that was willing to rent out the space for a few hours to just her and her friends without breaking the bank.  She didn’t want to compete with the noise coming from the other patrons of the restaurant.  Imagine her surprise when I told her there was a such thing as Restaurant for Hire, Inc.! The Restaurant for Hire, Inc. space was just the kind of place she had in mind. A customed designed menu, private luxurious atmosphere all while enjoying the privacy of your own guests. Does this sound like a place for you?
