Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: Melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue cooking until the butter turns a golden brown color and emits a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Add Chips and Toffee: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits, ensuring an even distribution without overmixing.
- Bake Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dollops of dough two inches apart on the sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Be careful not to burn the browned butter; remove from heat as soon as it turns golden and nutty.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by a minute or two.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Toffee bits add a delightful crunch but can be substituted with chopped nuts if preferred.
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
