Total Time: 27 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
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 chocolate chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and continue to mix until everything is well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of toffee bits using a spatula or wooden spoon until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Monster Chocolate Toffee Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix your dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Uniform Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for consistent cookies that bake evenly.
- Cool Completely: Let cookies cool on the wire rack to achieve the ideal crisp-yet-chewy texture.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days (if they last that long!).
- Extra Indulgence: For serious chocolate lovers, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top right after baking.
- Chill Option: For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
