Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and roughly chopped
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup toffee bits
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the cold butter and brown sugar together until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough is smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined.
Fold in the milk chocolate chips, toffee bits, and toasted pecans.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold to maintain the structure of the dough. Toast the pecans in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes before adding to the dough for maximum flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
