Ingredients for Sweet Chocolate Chip and Toffee Shortbread Cookies
  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup mini chocolate morsels
  • 1/2 cup toffee pieces

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • hand mixer or stand mixer
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • wire rack
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  4. Add flour: Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in mix-ins: Gently fold in the chocolate morsels and toffee pieces until evenly distributed.
  6. Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  7. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serving: Enjoy warm or at room temperature with milk, tea, or coffee. Great for sharing at gatherings or gifting during holidays.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months. Layer with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Tips:
• Use softened butter for the best texture.
• Don’t overmix once you add flour to keep cookies tender.
• Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter.
Variations: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch, or substitute dark or white chocolate chips for a flavor twist.
