- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the toffee bits and chopped almonds.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour. This helps prevent spreading and develops flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For perfectly round cookies, gently shape the dough balls before baking.
- You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
- Substitute pecans or walnuts for almonds if desired.
- Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
- These cookies make a great addition to any cookie tin for holiday gifting.
