  • 1 teaspoon baking soda Not interchangeable with baking powder.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Use kosher or sea salt for enhanced flavor.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by sifting together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. In a stand mixer, cream the softened butter with light brown and granulated sugars along with pure vanilla extract for about 2 minutes until fluffy. Then, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined, then fold in the butterscotch chips, pecans, and toffee bits using a spatula. Cover the dough and chill for 1 hour.
  2. While the cookie dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  3. Once the dough has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator. Using a 1½ tbsp ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
  4. Carefully place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a lightly golden color around the edges.
  5. After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
