Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup shortening Can be replaced with an additional 1/3 cup of butter.
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats Lightly toasting for added crunch is optional.
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour Measured with the scoop and sweep method.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt Sea salt recommended.
Add-ins
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and shortening together using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the packed brown sugar until creamy, then add the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is well combined and the mixture is light in color, approximately 1 more minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, doing this in three additions, stirring until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the toffee bits. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough chills. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Once the dough is chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 3 inches apart on the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers remain light in color.
  4. Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Notes

These cookies pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of coffee. For an indulgent treat, stack two cookies with a scoop of ice cream for an oatmeal toffee ice cream sandwich.
