📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Cinnamon powder1 tspCornstarch1 tspBaking soda1 tsp
4
Mix in pecans and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
Pecans (Roughly chopped, Unsalted, Preferably toasted)1.5 cups
5
Chill dough for ⏱️ 30-45 minutes to make it easier to handle.
6
Scoop out small portions of the dough and roll into balls. The chilled dough will seem a bit crumbly but the warmth of your hands will help bring the dough together into small balls.
7
Optional: Roll each cookie dough ball in a bowl of granulated sugar, if you like. I don't usually do it but my Mom does it.
8
Place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper.
9
Bake at 350 degrees F for about ⏱️ 11-14 minutes or until cookies are golden brown and firm along the edges. They will be "poofy" in the center and deflate as they cool. If they don't deflate fully to your liking, you can press down gently with the back of a spoon. Enjoy!
