These cookies are seriously decadent. They are sweet and salty with brown sugar, toffee, pecans and caramel and topped with a flaked sea salt.
2 c. all-purpose flour*
3/4 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. fine granulated sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 T. cornstarch
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
2 large eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
1 c. toffee bits
1 c. caramel squares, cut into fourths
1 c. chopped pecans
flaked sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour*, both sugars, baking soda, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon. Add butter. Mix with a spatula or a handheld mixer until crumbly. Add eggs and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Fold in toffee chips, caramel squares and pecans. If desired, set aside a few toffee chips, caramel squares and pecans to top cookie dough with for a prettier presentation.
Roll 2 heaping T. cookie dough into a ball for each cookie; place on prepared baking sheets, allowing 2 inches per cookie for spreading. Place reserved extra toppings on top of cookie dough now, if using.
Bake 12 minutes, or until edges of cookies are set. Remove from oven; sprinkle with flaked sea salt, to taste.
Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets.
Serve warm or allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
*Spoon and Sweep method for Flour: Use a spoon to fill the measuring cup with flour until the required amount is obtained. If you are scooping the measuring cup directly into flour bag, it will firmly pack the flour, resulting in too much flour for recipe.
