Salted Toffee Oatmeal Cookies (Print Version)

Chewy oatmeal treats with toffee bits and a touch of sea salt for delectable sweet-salty bites.

# Ingredients:

→ Cookie Dough

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
03 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 - 2 large eggs
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 3 cups old-fashioned oats
10 - 1 cup toffee bits

→ Finishing

11 - Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, then blend in vanilla extract.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
05 - Fold in old-fashioned oats and toffee bits until dough is evenly mixed.
06 - For thicker cookies, chill dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step is optional.
07 - Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, spacing them 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Lightly press each dough ball and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
09 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Notes:

01 - Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent cookies from spreading too much, resulting in a chewier texture.
