Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 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 semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 5: Fold in Chocolate Chips and Toffee Bits
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6: Scoop the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 7: Bake the Cookies
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is perfect for achieving a chewy texture.
Step 8: Cool and Enjoy
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your crispy toffee chocolate cookies warm or at room temperature!
