Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure the oven is perfectly heated by the time your cookies are ready to go in. -
-
Prepare the Baking Sheets
Line your baking sheets with non-stick parchment paper or give them a light spray of cooking oil to prevent sticking. If you don’t have non-stick sheets, make sure you grease them lightly. -
Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this should take about 2-3 minutes. -
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Continue to beat the mixture until everything is well combined. -
Mix in the Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture. Mix on low speed, just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix. -
Fold in the Toffee Bits
Add the toffee bits into the dough and gently fold them in until evenly distributed. These toffee bits will add a delicious caramel-like crunch to each bite. -
Shape the Cookies
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to space the cookies about 2 inches apart to give them room to spread as they bake. -
Bake the Cookies
Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies turn a beautiful golden brown around the edges. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the centers to stay soft and chewy. -
Cool on a Wire Rack
Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheets for a minute or two. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step ensures that the cookies stay crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Pro Tips:
- Toffee Bits: If you can’t find store-bought toffee bits, you can easily make your own by crushing up a toffee candy bar.
- Butter: Make sure your butter is softened but not melted to get the perfect texture. Cold butter can lead to denser cookies.
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week. They also freeze well for up to three months.
