Ingredients
Scale
Wet 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
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup (170g) toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure your cookies do not stick and bake evenly.
- 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, which should take about 2-3 minutes. This step incorporates air to give your cookies a tender texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined, ensuring a smooth and homogeneous mixture.
- 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 to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing as it can make the cookies tough.
- Fold in Toffee Bits: Gently stir in 1 cup (170g) of toffee bits using a spatula to evenly distribute the crunchy bits without breaking them apart.
- Scoop Dough: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly soft. Avoid overbaking to maintain a chewy center.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing them to set perfectly.
Notes
- For softer cookies, slightly underbake them and allow to cool on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute toffee bits with chocolate chips or nuts if preferred.
- Make sure butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
