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.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt until well combined. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips and toffee bits.
  4. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C). Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets.

  7. Bake cookies for 10-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheets for 3-5 minutes.
