  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts walnuts or pecans, optional

For the Dandy Twist:

  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries chopped

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Cream Butter and Sugars:

  • In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Vanilla:

  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients:

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Add Chocolate Chips and Nuts:

  • Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) into the cookie dough.

Incorporate the Dandy Twist:

  • Gently fold in the toffee bits and dried cranberries (or cherries) to the dough, distributing them evenly.

Shape and Bake:

  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.

Cool:

  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
