Ingredients
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 2 eggs
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons orange zest
- 2 cups sliced almonds
- 2 cups toffee bits
Directions
Preheat the oven at 350 °F.
In a mixing bowl, add the butter, oil and the sugars. Using a hand-held mixer, beat until combined. Beat in the extracts. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in orange zest, almonds and toffee bits.
Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2-inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven to a wire rack to cool before serving.
