Okay, I have been baking away this week…how about you? Well, you ask why no post well…see I made many of the same things last year. You can see them in old post just look over to your right. See I have old favorites and everybody wants the same thing from year to year. I let everyone pick one thing and then I have a long, long baking list but this way everyone has one thing they love. I have made date nut balls , sand tarts, thumb print cookies, puppy chow and gingerbread cookies. The only new thing I have made that is new for the blog this week is short bread cookies. I do love short bread cookies. Buttery, crispy cookies oh goodness so yummmmo and then, I love Toblerone candy bars I mean who doesn’t right unless there is something wrong with them. So…I said I am going to marry the 2 and wal la a really good combo. My favorite recipe for short bread cookies is the one from the Silver Palate Cook Book from way back when…
Toblerone Short Bread Cookies
3 sticks of butter, softened to room temp ~ I used Kerry
1 cup of confectioner sugar
3 cups all purpose unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1 Toblerone candy bar 3.5 bar ~ rough chopped
Cream butter and confections sugar together until it is light and fluffy. Sift the flour with salt and add to the creamed butter, add the vanilla and blend thoroughly. I place the mixer on the lowest setting and sprinkle the Toblerone candy in the dough, while it is running slowly. Stopping the mixer right away not to over mix. Over mixing will cause the candy to melt, then you will not have the nice chunky bits of candy in your cookies. Gather dough in a ball and wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours. Roll out dough to 5/8 thickness, cut with cookie cutter. ( I rolled into a log and just sliced and rolled sugar and chilled again) Place cookies back in to chill for 45 minutes. Bake at 325 for 20 minutes cool on a rack. Cookies should not brown at all.
I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
Enjoy this wonderful time of year,
Angie
I made these cookies last night for Bible Study, and we all loved them! Soooo good! I left some at home for Mom, and she ate 4 in one sitting! She absolutely LOVED them! Thanks for posting!
Thanks, dear so glad you all liked them. I love shortbread cookies and I love toblerone’s so how could I not just love them right? Thanks for visiting me here and hope to see your sweet smiling face soon. Love ya!! XOXOX
I’m just trying to figure out why it took until I was 28 to consider Toblerone cookies as an option.
Took me longer than 28 years…..Love, love Toblerone. Oh goodness I should put it more things now that I think about it! Hope you love them smiles!
Sorry but I live in France so i not understand “3 sticks of butter” can you give me the quantity plz?
Chloe ~ a stick of butter is 4 oz of butter so three sticks of butter is 12oz of butter for these cookies. I bet these will be amazing with french butter oh my !! Enjoy! Thanks for visiting !
I had to re read the recipe twice to make sure. When do you add the toblerone? You forgot that part lol.
Pauline…you are correct I did and will correct. I put it in at the very last minute. The Candy melt mixing in and you will not have the chucks. So, after you put in the vanilla, I sprinkled in while the mixer was running on a lowest setting and stop as soon as they are mixed in. Do not over mix the warmth from the mixer will melt them…hope you enjoy! Thanks
How many grams of toblerone (1 toblerone candy bar) do you use?
I used a 3.5 oz candy bar.
Thank you for sharing this recipe which I plan to tackle with my daughter and granddaughter today. And a big thank you for not inundating your post with frustrating ads. 🙏
