Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence)

Instructions

  • Brown the Butter:
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, swirling occasionally. Continue cooking until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma (about 4–5 minutes).
    Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Mix the Sugars and Butter:
    In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add the cooled brown butter and mix until smooth.
    Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and espresso powder until well combined.
  • Combine the Dry Ingredients:
    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Add the Mix-Ins:
    Fold in the toffee bits and mini chocolate chips (if using). Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for more flavor).
  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop and Bake:
    Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
    Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  • Cool and Enjoy:
    Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra indulgence, you can add mini chocolate chips along with the toffee bits.
  • Chilling the dough helps the flavors meld and results in a chewier texture.
