Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

Rich, buttery cookies packed with the sweetness of chocolate chips and the crunch of toffee bits – a match made in heaven! These chewy treats are a delight to bake and devour, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth or as a thoughtful gift for friends and family.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped toffee bits

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Stir in the chocolate chips and toffee bits.

Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Yield: 7 cookies.

Notes

Make sure to use room temperature butter for the best results, as it will help to cream together with the sugars smoothly. If you want a chewier cookie, bake for 9-10 minutes, but if you prefer a crisper cookie, bake for 12-13 minutes.

To ensure the toffee bits retain their crunch, avoid overmixing the dough, as this can cause them to break down.

For a more intense toffee flavor, use a higher-quality or darker toffee, like a butter toffee or a toffee with a higher caramel content. If you find the dough too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to firm it up before scooping the balls of dough onto the baking sheet.

Keep an eye on the cookies while they’re baking, as the baking time may vary depending on the size of the balls of dough.
