Cuisine: American
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chopped Heath bars
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Beat on medium speed for 3-4 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and continue mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Fold in the chopped Heath bar pieces using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best texture, enjoy within 2-3 days of baking.
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this creates the ideal creamy base for your cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender and prevent toughness.
- Chop Heath bars into varied sizes for interesting texture and distribution of toffee bits.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the cookies to maintain a soft, chewy center.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep cookies moist for days.
