Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (227 g) salted butter
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • ½ cups (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temp
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup (43 g) cocoa powder
  • 2 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup (g) caramel bits
  • ¾ cup (74.25 g) chopped toasted pecans
  • ½ cup (g) toffee bits
  • flaked salt for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Start by toasting the pecans in a small saute pan over low heat for about 5-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy. About 3-4 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and mix together.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients until just mixed together. Do not over mix dry ingredients.
  • Fold in all chocolate chips, pecans, caramel bits and toffee bits.
  • Scoop dough into balls using a ¼ cup cookie scoop.
  • Bake 6 cookies per sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until edges look cooked and firm. Sprinkle with flaked salt as soon as they're done baking.

Notes

Make sure your butter isn't too soft or these cookies will spread too thin.
If you can't find caramel bits you can get any chewy caramel and cut it into little pieces. 
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
