Cinnamon Toffee Crunch Cookies

Yum

Mmm…COOKIES AND MILK! COOKIES AND MILK! COOKIES AND MILK!

Cinnamon Toffee Crunch Cookies

Who would’ve thought Cinnamon and Toffee would make great cookies!


I stumbled across a bag of cinnamon chips not to long ago and I knew I had to snag them. I mean, how often do you come across cinnamon chips? Well, maybe depending on where you are in the world, they could be available all year-long. In Cincinnati, OH, they are pretty much available around the holidays. Therefore, you can imagine my excitement when I saw them sitting pretty on the shelf. I had no idea what I was going to make with them. I thought about trying to reinvent the wheel and make Cinnamon Chip Cones. Then I had to remember that I already made them. Don’t remember? Check them out here! They are a huge hit. I was back at square one. How in the hell am I going to use these chips?!  Then I finally decided that I wanted to make a cookie. I mean, how often do you come across cinnamon cookies?

Cinnamon Toffee Crunch Cookies

After weeks of deliberation and contemplation (hey, that rhymed) I finally decided to just make a cinnamon based cookie with what I had in my kitchen. Luckily, I had some left over toffee pieces and pecans. To be quite honest, I had no idea about how this cookie was going to come out. In my mind, it made sense. The toffee would give a crunch and the pecans would mellow out all the sweetness off the cookie by giving it a nutty flavor that makes these cookies all the more interesting. In the kitchen I went to see what would come of these ingredients. Just like any time I am in the kitchen, my husband decides to come in to see what I’m baking. He kind of stares and gives a confusing looking face and without so much of a question of what I am baking he says, “Alrighty then. Go for it!” He had never heard or seen a cookie with these ingredients either. You want to know something awesome? We both loved them! Especially when they came out of the oven. Well I guess any cookie is good when it comes out of the oven, but these cookies were and are amazing! Don’t even get me started on the icing. I have a feeling that once the world catches wind of this cookie they will want it just as much as they want Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Ingredients
  • 1½ sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • ¾ c. dark brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp. corn starch
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 c. flour
  • ⅔ c. pecan pieces, chopped
  • 2 c. cinnamon chips

  • 1½ tbsp. milk
  • ¼ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 Degrees and spray or line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix butter until creamy. Add the sugars until well mixed. Add the egg, vanilla extract, corn starch, cinnamon, and salt. Slowly add the flour ¼ cup at a time to avoid a large mess. Fold in cinnamon chips, pecan pieces, and toffee pieces.

Allow cookies to cool, place them on cooling rack, and repeat process until all cookie dough is baked.
  3. Once the cookies are baked and cooled, in a medium sized bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, butter, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Once the icing is formed, spread a thin layer of icing on the cookie and sprinkle with extra toffee pieces, if desired. Set back on cooling rack and allow to set.

I need too rest in between you don’t need to to suffer with crumbling bones like I have been, but can, and will stay strong in my faith. One thing for everyone on this site PLEASE Take Your Calcium.
