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 for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  2. Brown the Butter: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. Continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. Combine Sugars with Butter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the room temperature egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until creamy and fully combined.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  7. Fold in Toffee and Chocolate: Gently fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Shape the Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.
  10. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set properly and prevents breakage.

Notes

  • Allow the butter to brown carefully; do not burn it. The nutty aroma signals it’s ready.
  • Room temperature egg ensures better mixing and texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies tender and chewy.
  • Spacing cookies properly on the baking sheet prevents them from merging while baking.
  • Cooling cookies slightly on the sheet before transferring prevents them from falling apart.
