Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Toffee bits
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then add the vanilla extract and mix until 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 just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Using a spatula, fold in the toffee bits and chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough (or use a cookie scoop) and drop them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the cookies are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
