Step 1: Preheat Your Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve that golden-brown color.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This step is essential for ensuring that your cookies rise perfectly.
Step 3: Cream the Butters and Sugars. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Biscoff spread, shortening, and softened butter. Using an electric mixer, beat until creamy. Gradually add in the granulated and brown sugars, mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the pure vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
Step 6: Fold in the Toffee. Gently fold in the chopped Heath bars, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Step 7: Scoop and Shape the Cookies. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space in between each cookie for spreading.
Step 8: Bake the Cookies. Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Step 9: Cool and Enjoy. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy your warm Toffee Biscoff Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
