Chocolate Dipped Toffee Moons

Source: Pillsbury

Yields 5 dozen

Cookies:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter (softened)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped or ground almonds
1/2 cup toffee pieces
1/4 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Glaze:
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Add flour, almonds, toffee bits and salt, and mix well. Roll dough into 1-inch balls, then into the shape of a log. Bend to make a crescent shape. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie and bake for 13-15 minutes.

Make glaze: In a microwave-safe dish mix glaze ingredients. Microwave on HIGH for 45-60 seconds, stirring once halfway through. After glaze is finished cooking, stir until smooth. Dip half of each cookie into glaze and place on wax paper.
