Toblerone Shortbread

Ruthann, my beautiful sister-in-law, sent me this recipe. She manages to be a great mum, squat more that most athletic men, and bake all at the same time!! She's very cool.

This is a wonderful and decadent Christmas (or New Years) treat! Thanks ru!

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 -3 Toblerone chocolate bars

Cream butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Beat until light and fluffy.

Add flour and cornstarch gradually while beating continuously. Beat until light.

Take one teaspoon of shortbread mixture and slightly flatten between palm of your hands.

Place one triangle of Toblerone in the center of the shortbread and top with another slightly flattened teaspoon of shortbread mixture. Seal edges of cookie perimeter with fingers. 


Bake in oven at 375 degrees F for 12-14 minutes.

Enjoy!

She used to tell me how my grandmother was way ahead of her time, using ingenious and creative ingredients to make delicious culinary treats. My mum brought these back to life this christmas and they were awesome.. One of my best friends Ingrid said, "Charlie, you have to put those on your blog!" So, here they are!
