Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add vanilla extract and salt; mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed and scraping down the sides. Mix just until combined.
  4. Fold in mini chocolate chips and toffee bits with a spatula.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill dough in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each ball to 1/2 inch thickness.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are set. Rotate pan halfway through baking.
  8. Cool cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for tender cookies that hold their shape. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, substitute with 1:1 gluten-free flour or plant-based butter. Add nuts or spices for extra flavor. Cookies improve in texture after a day as the toffee melts into the crumb.
