SPARKLY CRUNCHY CORNFLAKE TOFFEE COOKIES

These iridescent, crunchy, toffee bourbon laced cookies will definitely be the star at any party! These cookies have this moreish quality to them that just make you want to grab another after another. I opted to make homemade bourbon vanilla toffee, which was surprisingly easy to make but you could easily sub in store bought if you can’t be fussed. Instead of using plain cornflakes I used Christina Tosi’s cornflake crunch recipe to add more depth of flavor to the cornflake. I did not get the hype of this cornflake crunch until I ate it ...it is highly addictive! The husband and I were munching on toffee and cornflake crunch all afternoon that I had to make a second batch of cornflake crunch...lol. The brown butter cookie dough acts like a vehicle for all toffee and cornflakes and it’s the best thing ever! I dusted these puppies in a heavy dose of edible gold glitter, and I think they are just perfect!

Chewy Hachiya Persimmon + Pecan + Date + Bourbon Cookies

Say hello to these chewy thick persimmon date pecan cookies! These cookies add sweet custardy hachiya pulp to a standard brown sugar cookie and are studded with caramelly date pieces and warm nutty pecans. To amp up the warm nutty notes of the cookie, a touch of bourbon and molasses are added to the dough which take this cookie to the next level. These cookies are insanely moist, chewy and thick. Roll them in a little bit of raw sugar to make them sparkle! If you have not baked with persimmons yet I highly recommend that you do! Persimmons add beautiful notes of caramel, an element of chewiness and this indescribable warmth to anything you add them to. If you have more hachiya persimmons than you know what to do with go make yourself a big batch of these cookies! They are the ultimate autumn cookie in my humble opinion.
