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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Bake Brown Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring frequently. Cook the butter for about 5-7 minutes until it turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, then remove from heat.
- Combine Sugars and Butter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Incorporate the large egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until creamy and fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Toffee and Chocolate: Carefully fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart for proper spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Cool Down: Remove 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.
Notes
- Use room temperature egg for better mixing and texture.
- Brown the butter carefully to avoid burning—stir constantly for an even color.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- For extra chewiness, slightly underbake and cool on the tray.
- Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
