Almond Chocolate Toffee

Our Christmas tree is decorated, the garland is hung in beautiful swags and the bright warm yellow lights are almost strung across our house.  We are in the holiday spirit and baking cookies is definitely a seasonal tradition of ours. It has been my observation over the years that during the holidays people tend to bake less everyday type cookies, like chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin, and instead bake a wide variety of cookies that range from from peanut butter kiss cookies to elaborately decorated gingerbread cookies. 

One of my favorite go-to cookies to make this time of year is made with a surprisingly uncommon ingredient for making cookies - saltine crackers. Salty crackers balance out the sweetness in these Almond Chocolate Toffee cookies in a very delightful way. Similar in taste to the popular holiday candy Almond Roca, these cookies ALWAYS disappear quickly. If you're looking to add another cookie to your holiday baking, this is a must-make!
