Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup (200g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (140g) toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup (227g) of unsalted butter. Stir continuously as the butter foams and then begins to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and pour into a heatproof bowl to cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  2. Mix sugars and eggs: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup light brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Pour in the warm brown butter and stir to combine. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. Make the dough: Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula just until no flour streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Add chips and toffee: Fold in 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup toffee bits evenly.
  6. Chill the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven and prep pans: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  8. Scoop and shape: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop generous rounded mounds of dough onto prepared sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are golden and centers remain slightly soft. Add 1-2 minutes for more crunch if desired.
  10. Cool: Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Watch the butter carefully when browning to avoid burning. Chill dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading. Pull cookies out when centers are still slightly underbaked for perfect chewiness. If kitchen is warm, chill dough again after scooping. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies tender.
