Cappuccino Crunch Bars image

These are something a little different for a non-specific sweet craving. I made a couple of minor alterations, but the original recipe was Edwina Gadsby's submission to Home-Tested Cookie Recipes. I found that they are better a day or two after you make them.

Time 50m

Yield 30 bars

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons instant coffee or 2 teaspoons espresso powder, dissolved in
1 tablespoon hot water, and cooled to room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup toffee pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a 13x9-inch pan (I recommend cooking spray- if you use shortening, the bars may seem greasy once cooled).
  • Stir together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars until fluffy.
  • Beat eggs in one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in dissolved and cooled coffee, extracts and orange zest.
  • Gradually mix in flour mixture.
  • Once flour is blended in, stir in chips and toffee bits.
  • Transfer batter to prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool in pan on wire rack before cutting into bars.
