How can one go wrong with Shortbread cookies for the Holidays. They are a must have…add pieces of Toblerone and you just took Shortbread up a notch.
My daughter is working in England this year and decided to make these cookies for her colleagues. She rolled the dough and sliced it, I like to just drop the dough by spoonfuls, so the cookies will not be as thin. Either way, they are wonderful with a cup of tea.
Toblerone Shortbread
Yields: 36 cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 cups softened butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 200g Toblerone, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl beat butter and sugar at high speed until light and fluff, then add vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and cornstarch.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the Toblerone pieces.
- Wrap dough in plastic wrap and roll into a log. Cut each cookie about a 1/4 in. thick. OR roll dough into 1 in. balls and gently flatten. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 to 20 min, or until lightly browned.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
