Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of softened salted butter and 1 cup of confectioners' sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually sift in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  5. Fold in 1 cup of mini chocolate morsels and 1 cup of toffee pieces until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and flatten slightly before placing on the baking sheet.
  7. If necessary, refrigerate the cookie balls for about 5-10 minutes to help them hold their shape.
  8. Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden at the edges.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool completely before enjoying.
