- in the bowl of your stand mixer add sugar and brown sugar as well as the cooled butter, using the paddle attachment beat until combined.
- add eggs and vanilla before beating again to combine
- add flour, baking soda and salt then combine slowly until it all comes together into one solid dough.
- chop pecans and add them to the dough as well as the chocolate chips and toffee bits.
- fold everything together being careful not to break the pieces too much.
- using a cookie scoop spoon 1.5 tbsp-sized balls of cookie dough onto the lined cookie sheet. leaving about 1-2 inches between each cookie for spreading.

Notes
if you want a smooth-looking cookie, you can roll the dough into a ball before placing it on the cookie sheet.
for best results don't use the convection setting on your oven
