Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (3 minutes). Add the egg whites and vanilla extract, then beat for an additional minute. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the pecans and toffee bits until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dough to firm up, preventing excessive spreading during baking. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie with the palm of your hand. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are set and lightly golden brown, approximately 10 to 12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10-12 minutes)

For the best texture, ensure your butter is at true room temperature – soft enough to easily cream but not melted.
Don't overmix the dough once the flour is added; this will prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
Chilling the dough is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too thin during baking. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for as little as 30 minutes, but longer is better.
Store these cookies loosely covered to maintain their signature crunch. An airtight container may soften them.
