Time 55m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup coarsely chopped pecans
¾ cup chocolate-covered toffee bits (such as Heath®), or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; whisk until well combined.
  • Place butter and brown sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg whites and vanilla extract, and beat for 1 more minute. Gradually add flour mixture to the bowl and mix until completely combined. Fold in pecans and toffee bits until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Move the bowl to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Scoop dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls with a spoon or cookie scoop. Place dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and flatten just slightly with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
