Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour ((250 grams))
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, softened to room temperature ((1 cup))
  • 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed ((150 grams))
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar ((100 grams))
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Toffee Bits ((like Heath Bits o’ Brickle English Toffee Bits))
  • 1 cup Crushed Potato Chips ((like Ruffles))
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pretzels
  • 1/2 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt, for topping ((optional; like Maldon flaked sea salt))

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F / 177°C.
  2. Prepare baking sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a baking mat like Silpat. (These will make it easiest to remove the cookies from the pan after baking.)
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Beat butter and sugars: In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle or using a hand mixer, beat together butter and both sugars until light and fluffy.
  5. Add egg and vanilla: Add egg and vanilla extract and mix on low, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  6. Add dry ingredients: Add dry ingredients to mixer and mix on low just until everything is combined.
  7. Stir in mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, toffee bits, potato chips, and pretzels.
  8. Shape dough: Roll cookie dough into golf ball-sized balls. (Roll them extra toppings if you would like.) Spread cookie dough out on prepared pans, leaving about 6 inches between them.
  9. Bake cookies: Bake cookies until edges are crisp and centers are still soft, 10-12 minutes.
  10. Deflate and salt: When you remove the cookies from the oven firmly tap the baking sheets on the kitchen counter to deflate them (this will make the centers soft). Sprinkle the cookies lightly with flaky sea salt (if using).
  11. Cool cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  12. Store cookies: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Line the baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats for easy cookie removal.
  • Tap baking sheets on the counter after baking to deflate cookies for soft centers.
  • Sprinkle flaky sea salt for enhanced flavor if desired.
  • Store cookies airtight at room temperature for up to one week.
