Ingredients
  

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed tightly
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt reduce if sensitive to salt
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup English Toffee Baking Bits
  • Flaky sea salt optional, but recommended

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Cream together the unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in the large egg and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract) until fully combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, fine sea salt, cake flour, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, and English Toffee Baking Bits using a spatula.
  5. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  9. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For best results, let the dough chill to achieve the perfect texture.
  • Consider using dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • These cookies freeze well; wrap tightly to store.
