Servings 24 cookies

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, cold
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • Sea salt, for topping (optional)

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition, then beat in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and beat just until combined, then beat in the chocolate chips and toffee bits.
  • Scoop 2-tablespoon mounds of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing each mound at least 2 inches apart.
  • Bake the cookies for 9 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until they are slightly crispy around the edges and barely set in the centers. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Make sure your butter is softened but not melted. It should be pliable but still cool to the touch. Leave it out at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes prior to starting the recipe.
  • If the dough becomes too sticky while working with it, refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes to firm it up. This can help prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking.
  • Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh. If you want to keep them soft, you can place a slice of bread in the container, which can help maintain moisture.
  • If you don't want to bake all the cookies at once, portion the dough and freeze it. Then, you can bake a few fresh cookies whenever you're in the mood!
