Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup toffee bits
Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing gently until combined.
Fold in the oats and toffee bits until evenly mixed.
For thicker cookies, chill the dough for up to 30 minutes.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press each dough ball down slightly and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are set but soft.
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a lighter version, try substituting half the butter with unsweetened applesauce. Add dark chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
