Chilly Chilly Brr Brr with Pecan Toffee Cookies


-33 degrees Celsius with -43 wind chill. Brrrrr!! The kidlets got to stay home from school as it closes with -40 windchill.
A frosty frosty doorknob inside the mud room. Not too fun having to put ones bare hand on that bad boy as I couldn't turn it with my mittens on :( 

So needless to say it has been a keep cozy day with freshly baked yummy chewy Pecan Toffee cookies  :) 

Chewy Pecan Toffee Cookies
 375 degrees – 10-12min.

Cream together til light & fluffy:
1 cup shortening
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
2tsps vanilla
Stir in & blend well:
2 cups flour
Pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 nutmeg
Add:
¾ cup toffee bits
¾ cup broken pecan pieces

Roll into 2 logs, wrap in saran wrap & freeze for an hour or up to 1 month.  Cut into 1.5 – 2 cm slices while waiting for oven to preheat to 375 degrees. Place cookie rounds on parchment paper & bake for 10 to 12 minutes. When they are removed from the oven they will still be a tad gooey & fragile, let sit 5 – 10 minutes before moving to cooling rack.
