Ingredients

Scale

Mix-Ins

  • 1 cup (200g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (200g) semi-sweet chocolate chunks
  • 3/4 cup (45g) crushed pretzels
  • 3/4 cup (132g) toffee bits

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup (222g) salted butter
  • 1 cup (246g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (342g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For Garnish

  • Sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cookies.
  2. Prepare Mix-Ins: Measure the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chunks, crushed pretzels, and toffee bits and combine them in a bowl; set aside for later incorporation.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer, cream together the salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth, light in color, and fluffy. This usually takes several minutes to achieve the perfect texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Begin mixing slowly to prevent flour from flying out of the bowl.
  6. Incorporate Mix-Ins: When the flour is about half incorporated, add the chocolate chips, pretzels, and toffee bits to the mixer. Continue mixing just until all ingredients are fully combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain tenderness.
  7. Portion the Dough: Using a 1/3 cup measure or a #12 scoop, portion generous amounts of dough. Shape each portion into a tall, loose ball with jagged tops to add texture, being careful not to pack the dough tightly.
  8. Bake Cookies: Place the dough balls on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookies spread out and the edges turn golden brown.
  9. Shape Cookies: Immediately after removing from the oven, use the back of a metal spoon to gently push the cookie edges towards the center, creating a neat, perfect circle.
  10. Add Sea Salt and Cool: Sprinkle sea salt on top while the cookies are warm, then allow them to cool on the baking pan for 20 minutes to set properly.
  11. Serve: Serve the cookies warm for the best taste experience and enjoy the combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy textures.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to avoid tough cookies.
  • Using a cookie scoop helps ensure consistent cookie size and even baking.
  • Pushing the cookie edges inward after baking helps create a uniform round shape and enhances presentation.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the pan to firm up and prevent breaking when transferring.
  • Sea salt garnish balances the sweetness and enhances the flavor profile.
