Description
Delicious cookies with nutty brown butter, a hint of coffee, and crunchy toffee bits for the perfect treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- ¾ cup (165 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cups (175 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (80 g) Heath toffee bits with chocolate
- Flaked sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until golden brown with a nutty aroma. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Once browned, transfer the butter and bits to a bowl, then stir in the espresso powder. Refrigerate until the butter firms up, about 1-2 hours.
- Prepare the Dough: Using a stand mixer, beat the solidified browned butter and both sugars on medium-high for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla, beating until smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour. Mix on low speed until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Toffee Bits: Gently fold in the toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Chill the Dough: Scoop the dough into large balls, refrigerating them for a few hours, or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat Oven & Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for 11-13 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
- Cool & Serve: Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For best results, chill the dough to achieve the right texture. If you can’t find Heath bits, use chopped chocolate and toffee or mix chocolate chips and toffee for texture.
