NUTTY BUTTER COOKIES

In this cleverly customizable cookie, peanuts, almonds, and cashews work equally well for the nut and nut-butter components of the recipe. (It's best to stick to one type of nut per batch.) To amp up the flavor and texture of the cookie, the oats are toasted in butter before being mixed into the dough. And if you don't like nuts, sunflower seeds are also delicious.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be. This is especially true for the butter, sugar, and nuts.
  • Don't overcook the toffee: The toffee should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 280-290°F (138-143°C). If it is overcooked, it will be too hard and brittle.
  • Let the toffee cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the toffee: This will help to create clean, even pieces.
  • Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature: It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
