Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened Brings richness and can control sweetness.
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar Gives a deep, caramel flavor.
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar Balances the sweetness.
- 2 large Eggs For binding and moisture.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Drop generous amounts of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space for spreading.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly soft.
- Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top before baking. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
