Ingredients
- For the Cookies:
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 9 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Make the Brown Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Continue heating until the butter turns brown and develops small brown bits. Be careful not to walk away, as it can burn quickly. Once the butter is brown, remove it from the heat and set it aside to cool completely.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, softened butter, and cooled brown butter until smooth. Add the whole egg and beat for about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Combine and Add Toffee: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the toffee bits.
- Shape and Bake the Cookies: Use a large cookie scoop to portion out equal-sized dough portions. Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 9-10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- For chewier cookies, do not overbake them. Remove them from the oven when the edges are golden, even if the centers seem slightly soft.
- If you want to intensify the toffee flavor, you can add more toffee bits or even sprinkle some on top before baking.
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
