Toffee Almond Sandies

Toffee Almond Sandies (Adapted from Taste of Home)

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white whole-wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 cup chopped almonds, toasted
4 ounces toffee bits
1/3 cup granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 350

In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and confectioners' sugar until creamy. Add oil, eggs and almond extract - beat until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Stir in almonds and toffee bits by hand.

Divide the dough into about 1" balls - roll each in the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Set the coated balls onto parchment lined baked sheets and flatten with a fork or potato masher. Bake until lightly golden around the edges, about 9 to 12 minutes. Remove and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 42 cookies.
