Ingredients:

  • 227g (1 cup) Unsalted high-quality butter, softened to cool room temperature
  • 65g (1/2 cup) Powdered sugar
  • 50g (1/4 cup) Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp Almond extract
  • 300g (2 1/2 cups) All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 120g (3/4 cup) Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 100g (2/3 cup) Toffee bits
  • 1 tbsp Flaky sea salt

Instructions:

  1. Cream the softened butter with both powdered and granulated sugars in a stand mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts until just combined.
  2. Whisk the flour and fine sea salt together in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the butter mixture on low speed. Just as the flour begins to disappear, fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits.
  3. Turn the dough out onto plastic wrap and form into a log or disk. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the fats to solidify and prevent spreading.
  4. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Slice the chilled dough into 24 even rounds and place them on two large rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are firm but the centers remain pale. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let cool on a wire rack.
