Now that we have our ingredients ready, let’s embark on a delightful baking adventure:

Preparing the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C).
2. In a medium-sized bowl, sift the flour and baking soda together or gently whisk them to combine. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat together the salted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer set to medium speed. Mix until the mixture is fluffy and pale in color.
4. Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.
5. Stir in the toffee pieces using a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed.
6. Gradually add the flour and baking soda mixture to the butter mixture, stirring gently until a doughy consistency forms.

Baking the Cookies

1. Portion the cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet using a rounded tablespoon or cookie scoop, leaving approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
2. For optimal results, consider chilling the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking.
3. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
4. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

1. Can I use unsalted butter instead of salted butter?

Absolutely! You can use unsalted butter and simply adjust the amount of salt in the recipe to suit your taste preferences.

Yes, you can! Simply portion the dough into individual cookie balls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer the cookie dough balls to a resealable plastic bag or airtight container for long-term storage.

3. Can I substitute toffee pieces with chocolate chips?

While toffee pieces add a unique flavor and texture to these cookies, you can certainly substitute them with chocolate chips if desired. Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins!

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. If you want to prolong their freshness, you can also store them in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.
