Ingredients
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
3/4 cup toffee bits
Instructions
1. Cut cold unsalted butter into cubes and cream it with brown sugar and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until slightly fluffy.
2. Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully incorporated—don’t overmix.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
5. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
6. Scoop 6 oz balls of dough (about the size of a small apple) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Chill the dough balls for 1 hour to prevent spreading.
8. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
9. Bake chilled dough balls for 9–11 minutes until edges are golden and centers are soft.
10. Let cookies cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm.
Notes
Use cold butter to keep the cookies thick—don’t soften it.
For best flavor, use chopped chocolate bars instead of chips.
Freeze dough balls and bake straight from frozen by adding 2–3 extra minutes to bake time.
