Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Brown the Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, which takes approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
  3. Mix Sugars and Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the room temperature egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is creamy and homogenous.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and seasoning.
  6. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender cookie texture.
  7. Add Toffee and Chocolate: Fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chips evenly throughout the cookie dough for bursts of sweetness and crunch.
  8. Shape Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown while the centers remain soft.
  10. Cool Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs to ensure even mixing and a soft texture.
  • Be sure not to burn the brown butter—watch closely as it can go from brown to burnt quickly.
  • Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet before moving to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • For an extra coffee flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee granules to the dry ingredients.
