# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt until evenly mixed.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and well blended, approximately 2 minutes.
04 -
Add melted butter, bourbon, egg, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and creamy, scraping the bowl as needed.
05 -
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl before folding in toffee chips and chopped pecans. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of two hours.
06 -
Using a medium cookie scoop or 30 ml (2 tablespoons) measure, place dough balls onto prepared baking sheets spaced approximately 5 cm apart.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until cookies are just starting to turn golden. Allow to rest on the baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Chilling dough prevents excessive spreading and maintains cookie shape. Experiment with different nuts or toffee varieties for variation.
