Chocolate Chip Cookies with Toffee Bits and Himalayan Sea Salt

Because chocolate chip cookies are never a bad idea! Here I’ve added a touch of saltiness to balance the sweet chocolate.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup salted butter at room temperature, 1 stick
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 large egg at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
1 1/2 cups toffee bits

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone liner.

Add flour and baking soda to a mixing bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

To the bowl of a stand mixer, add softened butter and both sugars.

Beat with paddle attachment for about 2 minutes, until mixture is lights and fluffy.

Add egg and vanilla, beat on low until well combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture, continue to beat on low until well combined. (About 2-3 times)

Add chocolate chips and toffee bits and blend slowly on lowest speed.

Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop the dough onto parchment paper about 2 inches apart. I baked 9 cookies per sheet.

Bake about 10 until the cookies are just golden brown.

Sprinkle sea salt over the tops of the cookies and let cool on a wire baking rack

Try not to eat them all at once! ;)
