prep time: 20 Mcook time: 14 Mtotal time: 34 M
ingredients:
- 3/4 c. (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1 c. brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 ½ c. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 3 c. old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 c. coarsely chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 c. toffee bits {8 oz. package}
instructions:
How to cook Toffee Oatmeal Cookies
- Beat butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat well until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat until just combined.
- Gently stir in oats by hand; then stir in toffee bits and pecans.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper. {If you don't have parchment, very lightly spray the baking sheets with non-stick cooking spray. Using either parchment or non-stick spray is important with these cookies ... as the toffee bits can get gooey and sticky if they melt onto the pan.}
- Use your hands to roll 2 tablespoons dough into a ball. Place on the baking sheet and gently press down with the palm of your hand to flatten the dough ball just slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing dough balls about 2 ½” apart on the baking sheet {so you’ll only get about 8 or 9 on the baking sheet at a time}.
- Bake at 350℉ for 13 - 14 minutes, or until golden brown and set on the edges but still doughy looking in the middles.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes, then place on a wire rack to cool completely.
