Description
These toffee cookies are sweet, chewy, and irresistibly delicious with bits of toffee and a hint of vanilla. The perfect balance of buttery richness and crunchy sweetness.
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup white 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 toffee bits (or chopped toffee bars)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the toffee bits (and chocolate chips, if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
If you prefer a richer taste, you can add a handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the dough.
For a nutty twist, add chopped pecans or walnuts.
If you want a smaller batch, simply cut the recipe in half to yield fewer cookies.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for up to two weeks for longer freshness.
To reheat, microwave for a few seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
