Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup salted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Mix-ins
- 1 cup mini chocolate morsels
- 1/2 cup toffee pieces
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for shaping the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, cream together the softened salted butter and confectioners’ sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- Add Flour and Mix-ins: Lower the mixer speed to low and gradually add the all-purpose flour. Mix just until a soft dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate morsels and toffee pieces evenly using a spatula.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop about a spoonful of dough and roll it into 1-inch balls. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet spaced about one inch apart. Lightly press each ball to flatten the tops slightly. Optionally, chill the dough for 5-10 minutes to help maintain shape if your kitchen is warm.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch and just golden around the edges.
- Cool the Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Repeat and Store: Bake remaining dough in batches, allowing baking sheets to cool completely between batches. Once cooled, store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Chilling the dough before baking can help the cookies keep their shape, especially in warmer kitchens.
- Ensure baking sheets are cool between batches to avoid uneven baking.
- Store cookies properly in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crisp texture.
