Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks / 226g) unsalted butter, chopped
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (130g) toffee bits
  • Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter (about 5-7 minutes): Place the chopped unsalted butter in your saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly as it melts, then foams, and finally turns a golden-brown color with nutty aroma. Watch closely for little brown specks forming at the bottom. Once browned, immediately remove from heat and transfer to a heatproof bowl to cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix Sugars and Butter (3 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter with both sugars. Use your mixer to cream together until smooth but still glossy.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla (2 minutes): Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients (2 minutes): In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Toffee Bits (1-2 minutes): Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits evenly throughout the dough.
  6. Chill the Dough (optional but recommended, 30 minutes): Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  8. Scoop and Bake (10-12 minutes): Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are crisp and golden but centers still look slightly soft.
  9. Sprinkle Flaky Salt and Cool: Immediately after removing from oven, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on each cookie. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.

Notes

Watch the butter closely while browning to avoid burning. Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and improves texture. Use flaky sea salt for the best flavor contrast. Test bake one cookie first to adjust baking time for your oven. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute flour and butter accordingly.
