Description
Brown Butter Toffee Cookies combine rich, caramel-like flavor with crunchy toffee bits and melty chocolate chips for a cookie that’s crisp at the edges and soft in the center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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 chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure all ingredients.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook until it turns a golden brown with a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar and beat until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 3–5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Serve warm with cold milk for the best combination. Optional toppings include flaky sea salt for contrast.
