Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature) Provides the rich base and soft texture of the cookies.
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed) Adds sweetness and moisture while enhancing the toffee flavor.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Offers the perfect balance of sweetness to counter the rich butter.
  • 2 large eggs Acts as a binder, giving the cookies structure and moisture.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Infuses a warm, sweet flavor that complements the other ingredients beautifully.
Dry Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour Forms the bulk of the cookie, creating a delicate texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Helps the cookies rise, resulting in a chewy center.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances the overall flavor and balances the sweetness.
Add-Ins
  • 1 cup toffee bits Adds crunchy, melty sweetness to each bite.
  • 1 cup pecans (chopped) Provides a delightful crunch and nutty flavor, elevating the cookie experience.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding carefully until just combined.
  5. Fold in the toffee bits and chopped pecans.
  6. Scoop rounded portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving about two inches between each ball.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
  2. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
