Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, softened This is the heart of the recipe. It brings richness and that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar To give sweetness without the grit. It dissolves beautifully for that smooth texture.
- 2 tsp vanilla extract Adds depth and that familiar, comforting aroma.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Provides structure and that classic shortbread feel.
- 1 cup mini chocolate morsels They melt just perfectly and provide sweet chocolate pockets.
- 1/2 cup toffee pieces Sweet, crunchy, and a surprise with every bite!
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together soft salted butter and confectioners' sugar until fluffy and light.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the mini chocolate morsels and toffee pieces.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.
- Let them sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature ingredients, avoid overmixing, and consider chilling the dough if it's too sticky. These cookies pair perfectly with tea or coffee, and can be made ahead for convenience.
