Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Skor toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening agents.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in the Skor toffee bits using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother dough. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and results in a fluffier cookie.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the wet, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: For even better results, consider chilling the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This can help enhance the flavors and prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep a close eye on your cookies as they bake. Remove them from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underbaked for that perfect chewy texture.
- Storage: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the dough balls and bake them fresh whenever you crave a warm cookie!
