Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Instant Espresso Powder (or Instant Coffee Powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Toffee Bits

Instructions

  1. In a light-colored saucepan, melt your unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter starts to foam and turns golden brown with amber flecks. This usually takes 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof bowl to cool for about 15-20 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the large egg until fully incorporated, then stir in the vanilla extract. Mix for another minute until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant espresso powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the toffee bits using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours, or overnight.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  9. Use a 1.5-2 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and set, but the centers still look slightly soft and gooey.
  11. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to achieve the perfect texture. You can substitute toffee bits with chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired. For a gourmet touch, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each cookie before baking.
