Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Heath toffee bits with chocolate
- Flaked sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Transfer to a bowl and mix in espresso powder. Chill until firm, about 1–2 hours.
- Beat the cooled browned butter and sugars using a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour on low speed until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in toffee bits until evenly distributed.
- Scoop dough onto a plate or tray and refrigerate for at least a few hours or overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chilled dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake for approximately 11–13 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Allow cooling slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
