Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Toffee Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix your dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender and soft.
- Uniform Cookie Size: Use a cookie scoop for consistent sizing, which ensures even baking.
- Cool Baking Sheets: If reusing baking sheets, let them cool completely between batches to prevent spread-out cookies.
- Storage Hack: Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture and softness.
- Chill Option: For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Watch Baking Time: Every oven is different, so start checking cookies at the 10-minute mark to prevent over-browning.
