Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Ensure it has at least 11% protein to prevent spreading.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Add ¼ teaspoon if using unsalted butter.
  • 1 cup butter (softened) Opt for high-quality butter for the best taste.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Can substitute with granulated sugar, but texture may vary.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla for top quality.
For the Mix-Ins
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet mini chips) Dark chocolate can be swapped for a deeper flavor.
  • 0.5 cup toffee bits (such as Skor bits) Can replace with chopped toffee candy or omit for a simpler cookie.

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
