Toffee Cookie

Ingredients:

1/2 cup oats finely chopped

2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1 package instant vanilla pudding (small)

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup nuts (optional)

8 oz English Toffee

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Line 2 heavy baking sheets with parchment paper.

Finely chop the oats in a food processor. Transfer the oats to a medium size bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla pudding mix, and salt. Mix to combine. Set aside.

Beat sugar, shortening, and butter until light and fluffy (around 4-5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat just until blended. Stir in toffee and nuts.

Drop 1 tsp or 1 tbsp of dough onto the lined baking sheets at 1" apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes until the desired brownness. Cool on a rack for at least 2 minutes.

Enjoy with a glass of milk or coffee!
