Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (180g) chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (85g) toffee bits
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, swirling frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly add the browned butter, stirring to combine. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add Chocolate and Toffee: Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits evenly into the cookie dough.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop cookie dough balls about 2 tablespoons each onto the sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown but centers are still soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For best results, use unsalted butter to control salt levels.
- Make sure to brown the butter carefully as it can burn quickly; watch for a deep golden color and nutty aroma.
- You can substitute toffee bits with chopped caramel candies if preferred.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the cookies by a minute or two.
