Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 1 cup Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Cake Flour
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (if using salted butter, otherwise 1 teaspoon)
Add-ins
- 2 cups Milk Chocolate Chips (may add more on the top)
- 6 to 8 ounces Milk Chocolate Toffee Bar (cut into pieces)
- 1/2 cup Pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat and Cream: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cold butter cubes, dark brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined without overworking the dough.
- Mix in Half the Chocolate Chips and Form Dough Balls: Fold in half of the milk chocolate chips into the dough. Then, scoop and roll the dough into 5 to 6 ounce balls, placing them on parchment paper-lined, light-colored baking sheets to prevent premature browning.
- Add Toffee, Remaining Chocolate Chips, and Pistachios: Press additional milk chocolate chips, pieces of the milk chocolate toffee bar, and pistachios into each dough ball, distributing them evenly and lightly pressing into the dough.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are just about done. Note that the cookies will continue to cook slightly after removing them from the oven, so avoid overbaking.
Notes
- Using light-colored baking sheets helps prevent the bottoms of the cookies from browning too quickly.
- Chilling the dough before baking can improve cookie texture and flavor.
- You can adjust toffee and chocolate chip quantities according to your taste preference.
- Let cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to ensure they hold their shape.
