Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ cup + 2 tablespoons icing sugar
• ¼ cup cornstarch or rice flour

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 10 ounces of toblerone chocolate bar, chopped into ¼ inch chunks

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 º F.

3. Sift in cornstarch or rice flour and blend in. Sift in all-purpose flour and salt and mix just until dough comes together. Dough will be soft. Mix in vanilla extract. Gently mix in toblerone chunks.
