How to Make Chocolate Chip Toll House Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup vegetable shortening, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips, ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and ½ cup toffee bits.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. The cookies will continue to bake as they cool.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
