Toffee Bars

This is one of those recipes that I have had in my family for a lot of years and I have made it many times.  It is great for the summer, because it is a bar cookie and you can just bake it all at once in one pan, and you don’t have to heat up your house for very long! It also has very basic ingredients that you probably already have at your house.

Back in the day, I used to make this recipe with shortening, but if you think about it, Toffee is made with real butter, so I changed out butter for the shortening and oh my, what a difference it made!  I asked my husband if he wanted one last night and he said, “No…I want two!”  They are that good!

Toffee Bar Cookies

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour, sifted

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans)

Cream butter and sugar.  Add egg and vanilla mix well.  Mix in the flour and then spread in a greased 9 x13 pan.  (I had to pat it out with wet fingers)   Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes, until done. Remove pan from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over the surface.  After 5 minutes spread the chocolate and sprinkle the nuts on.  Quickly cut into bars. Let the chocolate set and then enjoy!

So go make a batch of good Toffee Bars today, your family will thank you later! :)
