Salted Toffee Crunch Cookies<\/strong> \u2013 Made with flour, butter, brown sugar, toffee, pretzels, and peanuts. Sweet, salty, and irresistibly crunchy.<\/p>\n Over the past few weeks I (and about 600 other bloggers worldwide) participated in\u00a0The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap<\/a>. What does this mean? Aside from cookies, that is? This year, it meant raising almost $14,000 for\u00a0Cookies for Kids\u2019 Cancer<\/a>. (!!!) It meant each participating blogger baking and sending a dozen cookies each to 3 other bloggers, and it meant every blogger receiving 3 dozen cookies in the mail!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Talk about a win-win!<\/p>\n My contribution to this worldwide sugar high comes in the form of Salted Toffee Crunch Cookies. Salted \u2013 because it\u2019s necessary. Crunch \u2013 because\u2026 necessary. Toffee \u2013 because I was waiting in line at the grocery store and this Heath bar\u2026 it was looking at me. Looking I tell you! I stared right back and said, \u201cI\u2019m gonna put you in a cookie. Then I\u2019m gonna eat you.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well I didn\u2019t really\u00a0say<\/em>\u00a0it, it was more of a thought. At least, I hope. Being hungry in a grocery store can have frightening effects on people.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The salt and crunch in these cookies are brought by pretzels and peanuts<\/a>. All of these goodies get folded into a pretty much perfect drop cookie recipe from Martha Stewart. It\u2019s my go-to when the mood strikes to add every ingredient I can to a basic cookie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That mood strikes fairly often.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019ve made these cookies with dozens of combinations of nuts, chocolate, potato chips, dried fruit\u2026 you name it. But I think this toffee-pretzel-peanut combo is my favorite. There are so many things going on in each bite I almost can\u2019t handle it!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I do manage though. Somehow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have to send lots of love to the ladies responsible for all these cookies soaring around the globe: Lindsay at\u00a0Love & Olive Oil<\/a>\u00a0and Julie at\u00a0The Little Kitchen<\/a>! Thanks for putting together such a fun event that helps such a deserving cause!<\/p>\n And another big thank you to the bloggers I received cookies from! Aaaaaaand I\u2019m full!<\/p>\n
