Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups (315 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) salt
  • 1 cup (150 g) crunchy toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with a mixer on medium speed.
  3. Add 1 large room-temperature egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches on low speed. Stop mixing as soon as the flour disappears.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup crunchy toffee bits using a spatula.
  7. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and centers look set but still soft. Swap pans halfway if using two sheets.
  10. Remove from oven and let cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  11. Bake the remaining dough and cool cookies completely before storing.

Notes

Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and achieve crispy edges with a tender center. If toffee bits are soft, freeze them for 10 minutes before folding in. Rotate baking sheets halfway through baking for even cooking. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt on top before baking for enhanced flavor.
