Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup toffee bits
1 cup chocolate chunks
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty, then let it cool slightly.
2. Whisk the browned butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
3. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk until fully combined.
4. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt just until no dry streaks remain.
5. Fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chunks evenly through the dough.
6. Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies and better flavor.
7. Scoop the dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake at 350°F until the edges are golden and the centers are still slightly soft.
9. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and let the cookies cool on the pan before serving.
Notes
Do not skip cooling the browned butter slightly before mixing, or the warm butter can cause the dough to spread too much and create thin cookies.
