Ingredients
3/4 c. (1-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 c. light brown sugar, packed
2/3 c. granulated sugar
2 T. light corn syrup
1 T. cider or white vinegar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 T. vanilla
2–1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt (table, kosher or sea)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 c. lightly salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 c. toffee bits (I used Heath brand,)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2-3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Using a standing or hand-held mixer, cream butter, sugars, corn syrup, and vinegar until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Then beat in vanilla, flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until combined. Stir in chocolate chips, peanuts and toffee bits. Drop the dough by tablespoons, or use a #30 or #24 ice cream scoop, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies for about 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden and set. Centers will be slightly underdone. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Dough can also be frozen and baked at a later date.
