One of my favorite things to bake are chocolate chip cookies. They are always delicious and perfect for a late night snack! Some of my co-workers have been asking me to bake cookies, so I thought this was a great excuse to bake this recipe. My official taste-tester is out on maternity leave so the newbies will be on their own tomorrow! For this recipe I modified a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe and added english toffee. This makes for a great mix of chocolate and buttery flavors!
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup english toffee pieces
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and white sugar until blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and english toffee pieces. Drop cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are light brown. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
