Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 unit large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chunks
- 0.75 cup toffee bits
- 0.5 teaspoon flaky sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed (about 2 minutes).
Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the bowl, and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks and toffee bits until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a small pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long!).
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy the gorgeousness of each bite!
