Ingredients

For the Batter

1 cup salted butter, softened Adds richness and buttery flavor; using European-style butter can enhance tenderness.
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar Provides sweetness and a fine texture; granulated sugar is a substitute but will slightly change the texture.
2 tsp vanilla extract Enhances flavor complexity; you can swap in almond extract for a delightful twist.
2 cups all-purpose flour Creates structure for the cookies; you can use gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version if needed.

For the Mix-Ins

1 cup mini chocolate morsels Adds chocolatey richness and texture; feel free to use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead.
1/2 cup toffee pieces Introduces a sweet, crunchy element; caramel bits can substitute for a similar flavor if desired.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and confectioners' sugar for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract and blend for about 30 seconds.
Gradually add the flour on low speed and mix until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the mini chocolate morsels and toffee pieces until evenly distributed.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between.
Gently flatten each cookie ball slightly to create a disk shape.
Chill the dough for about 5-10 minutes in the refrigerator if your kitchen is warm.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
