Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips and toffee bits using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best texture, enjoy within 2-3 days of baking.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for optimal creaming and smooth cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender and prevent toughness.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Watch cookies carefully during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to preserve their delicate structure.
- For extra indulgence, slightly warm cookies before serving to re-melt chocolate chips.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to maintain moisture and softness.
