Easy Loaded Butterscotch Toffee Pecan Cookies Recipe

Making cookies from scratch isn't difficult, in fact, this recipe begins with ingredients considered to be pantry staples. I think, combining sugar, butter, flour and eggs really shouldn't intimidate anyone no matter your baking level of baking prowess. This cookie dough is a cinch to make and it freezes like a dream, so it can be made in advance and chilled or frozen and you'll have dough ready to bake when you're in the mood for a handheld treat.

How to Make the Best Loaded Butterscotch Toffee Pecan Cookies Recipe

In my kitchen, ice cream scoops are imperative for cookie making as they separate the dough evenly and help keep cookies more uniform in size. If you want to add them to your kitchen tools choose a high quality well made metal scoop and you'll be able to use it over and over again.

Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Loaded Butterscotch Toffee Pecan Cookies from scratch: All purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, butter, butterscotch baking chips, English toffee bits with or without chocolate, chopped pecans, two large eggs and vanilla extract.
Kitchen gadgets you'll need: 2 large baking pans, parchment paper, a mixer, large mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons. an ice cream scoop or cookie scoop, a cooling rack and a spatula to transfer warm cookies to the cooling rack.
While I most often use plain toffee bits otherwise known as bits-o-brickle for these cookies, they're quite delicious using chocolate covered toffee bits, too. Either way, you can't go wrong.
You could swap out walnuts in place of the pecans, if that's your preference.
You can use salted or unsalted butter in the cookie dough for this recipe.
Store baked butterscotch pecan cookies at room temperature tightly sealed for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to one month.
