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 cup (175 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (80 g) Heath toffee bits with chocolate
  • Flaked sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Brown the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and stir in espresso powder. Chill until firm.
  2. In a stand mixer, beat together the cooled browned butter and both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually incorporate the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour on low speed until combined.
  5. Fold in the toffee bits carefully.
  6. Scoop large balls of dough onto a plate or baking sheet; cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chilled dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, sprinkle lightly with flaked sea salt, and bake for 11-13 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  8. Allow cookies to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
