Cranberry Toffee Slice & Bake Cookies – Anne in Wisconsin (via mom)

Ingredients

• 1 C butter
• 3/4 C sugar
• 3/4 C brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 C white whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 C oats (quick cooking preferred)
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 C dried cranberries
• 1/2 C dark chocolate chips {be generous here}
• 1/2 C toffee bites

Directions

Cream together 1 C butter along with 3/4 C sugar and 3/4 C brown sugar. 

Add in 1 egg and 1 tsp. vanilla.  Mix well. 

Stir in 1 1/2 C white whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 C oats along with 1 tsp. baking soda and 1/4 tsp. salt. 

Then stir in 1 C craisins, 1/2 C chocolate chips and 1/2 C toffee bites.  Dough will be very stiff, so I recommend using your mixer to do this, or a wooden spoon. 

Divide the dough into fourths.  Shape each 1/4 of dough into rolls.  Wrap in plastic wrap and seal tightly. 

To gift – wrap each dough roll in butcher paper, tie ends with raffia or ribbon, and attach the baking directions below.  You may also wish to include the recipe. 

Freeze the cookie rolls. 

To bake:

1) Remove the roll from the freezer and allow it to sit on the counter for 10-15 minutes.

2) Slice the cookies into 1/2-inch slices and place each slice on a greased cookie sheet. 

3) Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned.
