Notes

Use a cookie scoop when baking cookies to ensures they bake evenly.
Room Temperature ingredients. Having your ingredients at room temperature will help them to combine better.
Don't skip the brown sugar. Using all brown sugar gives these toffee chocolate chip cookies their rich, deep flavor and chewy texture. The molasses in the brown sugar adds moisture and enhances the caramel notes from the toffee.
If your dough feels too soft or cookies melt too much while baking, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Don't overbake. For soft, chewy cookies, remove them from the oven when the edges are set but the centers still look slightly underbaked. They’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
