Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl, add the butter, oil and the sugars. Using a hand-held mixer, beat until combined. Beat in the extracts. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in orange zest, almonds and toffee bits.

Whew~this recipe makes a lot so I cut it in half, followed the recipe to a T and they tasted delicious! Great "sandy" texture (from the confectioners' sugar and cream of tartar and just enough orange flavor. Perfect cookie to go with a cup of tea or coffee. It's a keeper!!

Awesome cookies. My orange extract had evaporated, so I substituted vanilla and did not use quite as much toffee pieces and almonds. (I used what came in one package, 1-1/3 cups. The orange zest gave just a hint of orange flavor. And wow this makes a lot; never thought I'd get to the bottom of the bowl. These surely are delish!
