Coffee Toffee Almond Cookies. Comforting espresso, sweet buttery toffee, milk chocolate and the slight crunch of almonds make this cookie a keeper.

All in all things have been relatively quiet here at The Sugar Coated Cottage, no news is good news right, lol? The most excitement we’ve had is we had our living room floors refinished, like I said, not much going on here. It’s quite a process though and boy am I glad we didn’t tackle them ourselves. It started out where we were going to have them done a few weeks out and then they called and said they had a cancelation and they could come day after tomorrow. At first we were excited and then the reality hit us, where are we going to put all of our stuff, stuff, and more stuff?

Due to the smell of the poly coating we were out of the house a lot but when we could finally get back in and into the kitchen I was having a huge craving for sweet, coffee, chocolaty and crumbly. And thus the Coffee Toffee Almond Cookie was born. I mean who wouldn’t want an amazing bite of java, milky chocolate, almond sweetness but as if that couldn’t get better we have the buttery crunch of toffee that dissolves into the other flavors almost immediately making it cookie perfection!

We’ve discussed flavor now lets dive into the texture a bit. Don’t you just love a cookie that has a crinkly cracked surface? I do! And this cookie delivers. Each bite starts with a light crunch and gives way to the perfectly soft and chewy center.

Whether you are making these for yourself or for the coffee lover in your life just know there’s no way you will be able to stop at just one!
Enjoy!

I think having your floors refinished is quite exciting! We want to do ours, but I’m wondering the same thing… where do you put all your stuff?! 😉 LOVE these cookies! We totally have the same idea of a perfect cookie – a crackly outside and super soft, tender inside! YUM! The flavors you have going on here sound AMAZING!! Loving the toffee especially! I could eat a few dozen of these for breakfast! Cheers, friend!
Hi Cheyanne! Actually now that they are done and we can walk on them it is pretty exciting and one more thing checked off the house list. Agreed, the toffee is my favorite part of this cookie. These would be an awesome breakfast. Take care.
