Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup toffee bits
• 0.5 cup optional - chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the toffee bits (and chopped pecans or walnuts, if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Avoid overbaking to keep the bars chewy.

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares or desired shapes.

Step 11

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
