All About the Ingredients and What They Do in the Recipe
Unsalted Butter

Brown Sugar
Brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness while contributing a deeper caramel flavor.
Granulated Sugar
White sugar helps the cookies spread and adds crispness to the edges.
Egg
The egg binds the ingredients together and adds structure and moisture.
Creamy Peanut Butter
Peanut butter gives these cookies their signature flavor and soft texture. Creamy peanut butter works best for even mixing.
All Purpose Flour
Flour provides structure and stability to the cookies.
Baking Soda
Baking soda helps the cookies rise and spread while creating a soft interior.
Salt
Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the peanut butter and toffee flavors.
Vanilla Extract
Vanilla adds warmth and depth to the overall flavor.
Toffee Chips
Toffee chips add a buttery crunch and pockets of caramelized sweetness throughout the cookies.
How to Make Peanut Butter Toffee Chip Cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Fold in the toffee chips.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about two inches apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Success Tips
Use Room Temperature Ingredients
Room temperature butter and egg mix more evenly and create a smoother dough.
Do Not Overmix
Overmixing can lead to dense cookies. Mix just until everything is combined.
Watch the Bake Time
These cookies continue to set as they cool, so remove them when the centers still look soft.
Measure Flour Correctly
Spoon the flour into your measuring cup and level it off to avoid adding too much.
Substitutions You Can Use
Peanut Butter
You can use almond butter or cashew butter, but the texture may be slightly different.
Toffee Chips
Chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or chopped caramel pieces can be used instead.
Butter
Salted butter can be used if you reduce the added salt slightly.
Variations to Add
Chocolate Peanut Butter Toffee Cookies

Sea Salt Topped Cookies

FAQ
Can I Chill the Dough
