Almond Toffee White Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup very soft butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup mild-tasting oil sunflower grape seed, canola or safflower will all work well)
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups almond flour
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup crisp rice cereal like Rice Krispies
- 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats not quick oats
- 1 cup toffee bits I use Bits of Brickle by HEATH - available at most larger grocery stores in the same area as the chocolate chips.
- 8 ounces white chocolate chips roughly chopped or 8 ounces mini white chips (1 ½ cups)
- extra toffee bits for garnish if desired
- flaky sea salt for topping if desired
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325˚Line two sheet pans with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
-
Combine soft butter and sugars in a large bowl. Stir until well combined and creamy. Add the egg and stir well.
-
Slowly add the oil and stir until combined. At first, it will seem like the oil is separated. Just keep stirring and it will all mix in. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
-
Add the baking soda and salt and stir until well incorporated. Add the all-purpose and almond flours and stir until incorporated then add the Rice Krispies, oatmeal, toffee bit and chopped white chocolate. Stir until evenly combined.
-
Scoop dough out onto the prepared cookie sheets (I use a medium-size cookie scoop). Bake 18-22 minutes or until light golden brown. (This is totally optional but I like to bake the cookies for 14 minutes then remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the top of each cookie with an extra ½ teaspoon of toffee bits for a pretty garnish. Then I return them to the oven until golden.)
-
If desired, sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt then alllow them to cool on the pan for 3-4 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. The cookies will be soft at first but will firm up after several minutes.
