  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

– 1 cup unsalted butter

– 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar (light and/or dark)

– β…” cup (135 g) white sugar

– 2 eggs (room temperature preferred)

– 1 Β½ teaspoons vanilla extract

– 2 ΒΎ cups (350 g) all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon cornstarch

– 1 teaspoon baking powder

– 1 teaspoon baking soda

– ΒΎ teaspoon salt

– 1 cup (170 g) milk chocolate toffee pieces

– Sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

1-First, preheat the oven to 350Β°F (177Β°C) and line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized pieces and melt it over medium-low heat, then increase to just above medium while swirling and scraping the pan sides frequently.

2-Browning and Mixing the Ingredients: When the butter begins to brown and smells nutty, remove it from the heat and pour it into a heatproof bowl, letting it cool for 25-30 minutes. Add the brown sugar and white sugar to the cooled browned butter and stir well, then mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

3-In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until nearly combined, then fold in the milk chocolate toffee pieces evenly.

4-Baking and Finishing Touches: Scoop and roll the dough into 1 Β½ tablespoon balls, placing them on the parchment-lined sheets at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 9-10 minutes until the edges turn golden brown, with the centers remaining slightly soft. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt while the cookies are warm, cool on the pan for 3 minutes, and transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

πŸ”₯ Brown the butter carefully to develop rich, nutty flavor without burning.
❄️ Let browned butter cool completely before adding sugars to prevent runny dough.
❗ No chilling required; dough can be chilled but should be warmed before baking.
πŸ§‚ Sprinkle sea salt right after baking to enhance flavor and adherence.
🧊 Dough freezes well; reheat cookies briefly for softness and enhanced flavor.
