Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup natural chunky peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose unbleached flour

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Line two baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper and set them aside for later use.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, natural chunky peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This ensures a smooth and even base for your cookie dough.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Stir in the egg and vanilla bean paste thoroughly. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the baking soda and all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make cookies tough.
  5. Incorporate Toffee Bits: Fold the toffee bits into the dough by hand to distribute them evenly without breaking them down.
  6. Portion Dough: Using a scoop or spoon, drop 8 dough balls onto each prepared baking sheet, ensuring plenty of space between cookies for spreading. Press each dough ball down lightly with a fork to flatten.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes until edges are set and centers look slightly soft.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve or Store: Serve these delicious cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
  • For best results, do not overmix the dough once flour is added.
  • Pressing the dough with a fork helps flatten the cookies and create a nice pattern.
  • If you prefer crunchy cookies, bake an additional 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
