This is an old-fashioned cookie. It's delicious with miniature chocolate chips or coconut in place of the toffee bits. Diabetic Exchanges: 1 starch and 1 fat. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting for safe keeping.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup english toffee bits or 1/4 cup almond brickle chips
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in toffee bits and pecans. Shape into a 10-inch roll; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
2. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Place 2-inch apart on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 1-2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
