Dough
- 1 cup (222g) salted butter
- 1 cup (246g) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 cup (342g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
- Prepare Mix-ins: Measure out the milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chunks, crushed pretzels, and toffee bits into a bowl and set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth, light in color, and fluffy, which typically takes a few minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until completely combined.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stop the mixer and add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Begin mixing slowly until the flour mixture is halfway incorporated into the dough.
- Add Mix-ins: Pour the prepared chocolate chips, pretzels, and toffee bits into the mixer and continue mixing until all ingredients are fully combined. Avoid over mixing.
- Portion Dough: Use a 1/3 cup measuring scoop or a large cookie scoop to portion the dough into generous portions. Loosely gather the dough into tall balls with jagged tops to add texture, avoiding compact packing.
- Bake Cookies: Place the dough portions on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden brown and the dough has spread.
- Shape Cookies: Immediately after removing from the oven, use the back of a metal spoon to gently push the edges of each cookie toward the center to create a perfect circle shape.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 20 minutes; during this time, the cookies will continue baking slightly and set properly.
- Serve: Sprinkle sea salt on top if desired and serve the cookies warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- The cookies will continue to bake on the hot pan after being removed from the oven, so it is normal if the centers look slightly underbaked when you take them out.
- Using a large scoop and leaving jagged tops on the cookie dough balls creates a nice texture on the final baked cookies.
- Sea salt garnish adds a delightful contrast to the sweet and salty flavor profile in these cookies.
- Allowing the cookies to cool on the pan helps them set without overbaking in the oven.
