Who doesn't love the delicious flavor of English toffee? One of my favorite forms is English Toffee creamer in my coffee or in convenience-store cappucino.
Today, January 8, 2014, is English Toffee Day.
Here are some interesting facts about toffee, including this one:
Some think that English toffee is a variant of a 19th century candy. Because slave labor drastically lowered the prices of sugar and treacle at the start of the 19th century, the key ingredients needed to create toffee became available to average people. Seeking a frugal solution, two English ladies decided to combine these two ingredients and created a wonderful treat.
In the spirit of the day, I thought I'd share a recipe for English Toffee Cookies. In all honesty, I haven't tried this recipe, but it looks easy and delicious. Here we go, from Cooks.com:
