Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ ounces white chocolate, chopped
½ cup milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon white corn syrup
½ cup chopped almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Place flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add cold butter pieces and vanilla extract; blend until mixture forms clumps. Press butter-flour mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Pierce dough all over with a fork while still hot. Slice dough into 12 squares, then cut each square in half diagonally, forming 24 triangle cookies.
  • Return cookies to the oven and continue to bake until golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes more. Trace a knife around each cookie to ensure they're completely sliced. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Drizzle white chocolate over cookies in a zigzag pattern, using a fork.
  • Melt milk chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter, and corn syrup in another microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle milk chocolate mixture over white chocolate, using a clean fork. Sprinkle almonds over chocolate. Let stand until chocolate sets, about 1 hour.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to bake evenly. Some of them were overcooked and some of them were undercooked.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good.
