Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Heath toffee bits with chocolate
  • Flaked sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Transfer to a bowl and stir in espresso powder. Chill until firm (1-2 hours).
  2. Beat the chilled brown butter with both sugars in a stand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add baking powder, baking soda, salt, and flour; mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Fold in the toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  6. Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets and chill for several hours or overnight.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake chilled dough balls for 11-13 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
