Craving something sweet, crunchy, and ultra-satisfying? These Dreamy Toffee Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies deliver all the gooey chocolate flavor, buttery toffee goodness, and nutty crunch you could possibly want—while still being quick and straightforward to make. In no time at all, you’ll have a warm tray of cookies that will make your friends wonder if you’ve got a secret bakery membership.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
- 3/4 cup toffee bits
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture looks light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, to ensure all the wet ingredients are fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Once your dough is combined, gently fold in the chocolate chips, toffee bits, and chopped pecans. Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a few inches of space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. This ensures a chewy texture once they cool. Remove the cookies from the oven, allow them to rest on the baking sheets for a minute or two, then carefully transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
These cookies make the perfect sweet treat for get-togethers or a quick pick-me-up for busy weekdays. They’re easy enough for beginner bakers yet satisfying enough to impress cookie connoisseurs. If you prefer a less sweet cookie, reduce the sugar slightly or swap out the chocolate chips for dark chocolate chunks. For nut allergies, omit the pecans or replace with sunflower seeds. Enjoy them warm from the oven, or store in an airtight container for up to a week, although they rarely last that long!
