Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and maple extract until the mixture is nice and smooth. Then, add the flour and stir until everything is just combined. Gently fold in the toffee bits so they’re evenly spread throughout the dough. Drop spoonfuls of the dough—about a tablespoon each—onto a baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Pop the tray in the oven and bake until the edges turn a light golden brown, which should take around 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool before drizzling with maple toffee or enjoying as is!

How to serve
Serve these cookies with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a cozy treat. They also pair well with vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk. Perfect for sharing at holiday gatherings or as a sweet snack any time.
Storage & leftovers
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze in a sealed bag for up to three months. Add the maple toffee drizzle just before serving if stored without it.
