Every Christmas I look for an easy, simple recipe to give to our teachers, family and friends. I love treats that travel well so my kids won't have to worry about squishing them on the way to school. Something that can be shipped across the country to family and friends with no worries. I also love treats that don't take a lot of effort or have too many ingredients. We ship a lot of packages at Christmas with family and friends all over the world and with four children there are plenty of teacher gifts needed.
I've had a favorite "Cracker Cookie" recipe that's more of a chocolate almond toffee bark than a cookie. It uses saltine crackers but no one knows and it's always a hit. This year I thought I'd change up the recipe a bit and use pecans because pecans and toffee are so delicious together. I'm so glad I did.
My good friend Aana gave me this recipe a few years ago. I will be forever in her debt for sharing these treats with me. They are the kind of thing that I can throw together with just a few ingredients that I usually have in my pantry. These are perfect for gifts, entertaining, or a quick treat for the family.
I know these are called cookies but they are more like a toffee/brittle type thing. They are super easy and soooo delicious. If you like salty and sweet then you will love these buttery, salty, sweet little confections.
