Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, browned and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp instant coffee or espresso powder
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks or chips dark, milk, or mixed

Method
 

  1. Brown the butter:
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. Let it cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Combine wet ingredients:
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla; mix until creamy.
  5. Mix dry ingredients:
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
  7. Form the dough:
  8. Gradually stir dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chunks.
  9. Chill:
  10. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading and deepen the flavor.
  11. Bake:
  12. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto parchment-lined baking trays. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft.
  13. Cool:
  14. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for thicker, chewier cookies.
  • Use quality butter for a richer, nuttier flavor.
  • Add a mix of dark and milk chocolate chunks for depth.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for 2 months.
