Description
These cookies feature the nutty aroma of browned butter, sweet crunch of toffee bits, and gooey chocolate chips for an unforgettable treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir frequently until it turns golden brown and smells nutty, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula. Stir in the toffee bits and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough, placing each ball about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underdone.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top while the cookies are still warm.
Notes
[‘Browning butter requires patience; stir constantly and watch closely to avoid burning.’, ‘Chilling the dough ensures thicker cookies with a chewy texture.’, ‘High-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate make a noticeable difference.’, ‘Take the cookies out when the centers look slightly underdone—they’ll firm up as they cool.’, ‘Flaky sea salt adds a gourmet touch, but regular kosher salt works too.’]
