This recipe is from a Junior League of Austin cookbook that I borrowed from my mom’s house. Thanks, mom : ) These cookies are called English Toffee Cookies in the cookbook, but I took the liberty of changing their name to be more descriptive.

If you bake at all, then you can bake this bread. Not only is it incredibly easy, but the ingredient list makes me oh so very happy. I almost always have every single item in my kitchen. Glorious! The only thing that I didn’t have was buttermilk and we all know how easy it is [...]
