Description
Buttery, crisp-edged cookies packed with rich toffee bits and finished with a light sprinkle of coarse sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup toffee bits
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the toffee bits until they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes to control spreading.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the chilled dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart, flatten each ball slightly, and sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are beautifully golden brown and crisp.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps control spreading and gives the cookies a better texture. Sprinkle with coarse sugar before baking for an extra touch of sweetness and crunch.
