Orange Toffee Almond Sandies

This is another great Paula Deen recipe and it makes a ton of cookies!

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp orange extract
2 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt
3 TBSP orange zest
2 cups sliced almonds
2 cups English toffee bits

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a mixing bowl, add butter, oil and sugars.  Beat until combined, then add extracts.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well each time.  Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt in separate bowl.  Gradually add to the creamed mixture.  Stir in orange zest, almonds and toffee bits.  Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.  Bake until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.  Cool on wire rack before serving.
