Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • plastic wrap
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup Cold Unsalted Butter Use straight-from-the-fridge for optimal texture.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Contributes moisture and caramel-like flavor.
  • 1 large Egg Yolk Acts as a binder; avoid overmixing.
  • 1 teaspoon Alcohol-Free Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Measure carefully to avoid dense cookies.

Instructions
 

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat cold, cubed unsalted butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Mix in one large egg yolk and a splash of alcohol-free vanilla extract until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients until just mixed.
  • Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  • Divide the dough into two logs about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled dough logs into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place them on a lined baking sheet, spaced apart, and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  • Allow them to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack. Optionally drizzle with melted caramel after baking.

Notes

Feel free to customize the recipe with nuts or zests, adjusting the flour slightly as needed.
