Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet or sheets with a sheet of parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
Add the melted butter, bourbon, egg, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly. Batter should be smooth and creamy. Before continuing, be sure to scrape the bottom of the mixing bowl to make sure everything is blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients until just combined. Again, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl before adding the toffee chips and pecans. Mix until blended. Cover the bowl and place into the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Using a medium cookie scoop or 2 tablespoons of dough, place scoops onto prepared cookie sheet(s) about two inches apart.
Bake cookies for 12 - 15 minutes or until just slightly golden. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
