Cheesecake Toffee Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup toffee bits for baking

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until well incorporated.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fold in the toffee bits for baking gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; this is okay, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
