Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.9 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.28 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2.1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.1 cup toffee bits (chopped toffee candy)
- 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt optional, for finishing
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Beat butter with both sugars until pale and fluffy, 2–3 minutes.
- Mix in vanilla and fine salt until smooth.
- Whisk flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a separate bowl.
- Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture in two additions; mix just until a soft dough forms.
- Fold in toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Divide dough in half; shape each into a 1¾-inch-thick log.
- Wrap logs tightly and chill until very firm, 1–2 hours.
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment.
- Slice chilled logs into ¼-inch rounds and set 2 inches apart on sheets.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges turn light golden. Rotate pans halfway through.
- Cool 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a rack. Sprinkle flaky salt if using.
Notes
Variation: Swap 1/2 tsp almond extract for part of the vanilla, or roll the logs in coarse sugar before slicing for sparkle. Storage: Refrigerate dough up to 3 days or freeze logs up to 2 months; slice from frozen and add 1–2 minutes to bake time.
