Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter toffee bits
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract, and beat on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 1 minute.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in the butter toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2-3 hours.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop out rounded tablespoons of chilled dough, roll each ball in granulated sugar, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
