Ingredients

  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend 1 cup (230g) of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add egg and vanilla: Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep your cookies tender.
  6. Fold in toffee bits: Gently stir in 1 cup (170g) toffee bits using a spatula.
  7. Shape cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking for a chewy center.
  9. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the cookies tender.
  • Do not overbake to ensure a chewy center.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving for best texture.
