  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 30 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until it foams, turns golden brown, and releases a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy (2–3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Gently fold in the toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  6. Optional: Chill the dough for 30–60 minutes for thicker cookies.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  8. Scoop dough into balls slightly larger than golf balls, spacing 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers remain soft.
  10. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top before baking.

Customize with chocolate chips or nuts if desired.

Do not overbake to maintain chewy texture.
