Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 C. Room Temperature Butter
- 1/2 C. Confectioners Sugar
- 2 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 2 C. All-Purpose Flour
- 1 C. Chocolate Chips (Minis, chunks, etc.)
- 1/2 C. Toffee Pieces
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and set it aside for later use.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together 1 cup of room temperature butter and 1/2 cup of confectioners sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Vanilla: Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture, continuing to beat until everything is well combined.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually add 2 cups of flour in halves, mixing slowly to incorporate the flour evenly without overmixing.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of toffee pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop about 1/2 cup of dough per cookie and form each into a large ball. Repeat until all dough is portioned, yielding approximately 6 large cookies.
- Chill Dough: Flatten each dough ball slightly and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Chill the shaped cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Preheat Oven: When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake Cookies: Transfer the chilled baking sheet to the oven and bake the cookies for approximately 30 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the cookies are cooked through.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For crispier cookies, bake a few minutes longer but monitor closely to avoid burning.
- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and maintains the thick, chunky shape of the cookies.
- Feel free to swap toffee pieces with nuts if preferred.
