Instructions

With the paddle attachment of a stand mixer cream butter until light and fluffy.

Add in brown sugar and white sugar and continue to mix until well incorporated.

Add in egg and vanilla and continue mixing until well blended.

In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.

Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture mixing after each addition until all the flour is incorporated.

Add in toffee bits and mix gently on low.

Lay out a piece of wax paper on a flat surface. Scoop the dough into the center of the wax paper. Use the wax paper to help roll the dough into a long shape with a diameter of about 2 inches.

Wrap the dough in the wax paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

To bake-

Preheat the oven to 350

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice the cookie dough into ¼- ½ inch slices.

Place dough slices on prepared cookie sheet a couple of inches apart.

Bake for 10-14 minutes or until they are a very lightly golden brown around the edge and appear dry in the center.

Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toffee Bit Technique 🍪
Freeze Heath Toffee Bits for 15 minutes before adding to the dough to prevent them from melting too quickly and ensure even distribution.
Butter Temperature Matters 🧈
Allow butter to soften at room temperature for 30-45 minutes to create the perfect creamy consistency that ensures a tender, even-textured cookie.
Chill for Better Texture 🧊
Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to develop deeper flavor and prevent spreading during baking.
Uniform Sizing Trick 📏
Use a cookie scoop or weigh each dough ball (about 1.5 ounces) to ensure consistent baking and professional-looking cookies.
Toffee Bit Coating Hack 🌟
Gently press extra toffee bits on top of each cookie dough ball before baking to create a more dramatic toffee appearance and crunch.
