Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chopped apples
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. Mix for approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Sift together flour and baking soda in a separate bowl, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in chopped apples and toffee bits using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter for the smoothest, most evenly mixed dough.
- Choose crisp, firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to complement the apple.
- Make sure to space cookies evenly on the baking sheet to ensure uniform baking.
- Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their perfect texture.
- For a gourmet touch, drizzle melted caramel or sprinkle extra toffee bits on top after baking.
