Toffee biscuits

Lately I've been having these "I-really-wanna-bake-something" feelings. But usually we don't like to eat the goodies. So we don't bake sweet things that often. Yesterday I had that feeling again. I wanted to bake but what to bake? Biscuits!! Because I remembered the perfect recipe from my aunt. I used to love these biscotti-type of sweets. They taste like toffee and are super easy. And you can just have one with coffee now and then and have a jar of biscuits waiting in the cupboard.

Toffee biscuits

200 g butter
200 g brown sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tblsp brown syrup
3 tsp vanilla sugar
5 dl wheat flour (you can replace some with spelt flour)
2 tsp baking soda


Heat the oven to 200 Celsius degrees. Make sure the butter is room temperature and whisk it with brown sugar to make a foamy base. Add the egg yolk and whisk again. Mix the syrup with the butter-sugar-egg-mixture. In another bowl mix together the flour, vanilla sugar and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix again. There you go! Now we have the biscuit dough. Split the dough into 4 pieces that are same size and roll every piece into a bar that is about 2 cm thick and the length of your baking tray. Add all the bars to your baking tray. The dough will spread when baked. Bake the biscuits for 20 to 30 minutes. They are ready when they are toffee brown. Cut the biscuits while they are hot. Enjoy!
