Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), preparing the perfect environment for baking your cookies.
-
-
Sift the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt, ensuring there are no lumps. Set this mixture aside to be combined later.
-
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and butter flavor shortening with both the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
-
Incorporate the Pudding Mix: Gradually add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the butter and sugar mixture, blending well until fully integrated. The pudding mix not only adds flavor but also contributes to the soft texture of the cookies.
-
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Crack the four large eggs into the bowl, along with the vanilla extract, and continue mixing on low speed until everything is well combined.
-
Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until the flour is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to denser cookies.
-
Stir in the Chocolate and Toffee: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring even distribution throughout the cookie dough. You can also add chopped nuts at this stage if you desire an extra crunch.
-
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Using a cookie scoop or rounded spoon, drop generous spoonfuls of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets or parchment-lined cookie sheets. Make sure to leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading while baking.
-
Bake the Cookies: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain soft. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary slightly based on your oven.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. This allows them to set up before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Enjoy these delightful cookies warm, or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
