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!
