This is the last Thursday of 2023. That means it is the last Cookie Thursday is a Thing or 2023.
It was also a very big day for my mom. She was going to have surgery. And I was going to be her helper in the OR, and, more importantly, her driver.
Okay.
So I make cookies on Wednesday.
But what holiday cookie to make to keep up with the theme?
I went to my baking pantry to find inspiration.
What I didn’t find was the club crackers that I had. I must have put them somewhere else.
But I did find tea cookies. That’s what it said on the package. These were similar to naked hobnobs. See also, biscuits in Britain.
After finding them in the pantry, I decided to make toffee crackers with chocolate on top. This also goes by the name Christmas Crack.
Oven 350-degree Fahrenheit
1 c butter melted
1 c brown sugar
cook together until boiling and boil for 5 minutes
The entire package of tea cookies on a cookie sheet, laid out in a single layer.
It is best to do this while the butter and brown sugar are doing their thing.
Top the cookies with the toffee, making sure to cover all the corners.
Bake for 5 minutes.
Pull from oven and top with chocolate chips, about 1 cup. Wait until the chocolate starts to get glassy before spreading the now melty chocolate over the toffee-covered cookies.
This recipe also works with saltines, club crackers, Ritz crackers, graham crackers, matzoh crackers, and pretzels.
