Toffee Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cookies
Description
The cookie dough is made by creaming cold butter with dark brown and granulated sugars to a light, fluffy texture. Eggs and vanilla add moisture and flavor. Combining both all-purpose and cake flours along with cornstarch yields a tender, soft crumb while baking soda provides leavening. Salt balances sweetness.
Milk chocolate chips are folded into half the dough before scooping into 5-6 ounce balls. Each ball is then topped with additional milk chocolate chips, toffee pieces, and pistachios pressed lightly into the surface to add bursts of flavor and crunchy texture. Baking at 400°F for 10-12 minutes develops a golden outer edge while keeping the centers soft and chewy.
This cookie is notable for its combination of sweet, nutty, and toffee flavors with a pleasing textural mix from the chips, nuts, and toffee. Baking large cookie portions creates thick cookies that remain moist inside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (if using salted butter, 1 teaspoon if you are using unsalted)
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips (may add more on the top)
- 6 to 8 ounces milk chocolate toffee bar (cut into pieces)
- 1/2 cup pistachio
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Fold in all-purpose flour, cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.
- Fold in 1/2 of the milk chocolate chips. Roll into 5-6 ounce balls and place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets (I suggest light-colored baking sheets or the bottoms of the cookies will brown too quickly).
- Once the cookie dough has been rolled into balls, place the milk chocolate chips, toffee, and pistachios into each dough ball, lightly pressing into the cookie dough.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are almost set. They will continue to bake once you remove them from the oven.
