Delicious Brown Butter Toffee Sea Salt Cookies

These cookies feature a chewy texture and a rich flavor profile, thanks to the brown butter and toffee bits. The addition of sea salt enhances the sweetness, making them a standout among chocolate chip desserts. This recipe yields about 24 cookies and takes approximately 30 minutes to prepare and bake.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), browned
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 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 semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup toffee bits
• Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Brown the Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
2. Mix the Sugars: In a large bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in Chocolate and Toffee: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
6. Chill the Dough: For best results, chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
7. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Scoop and Bake: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
9. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
