Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- Brown sugar
- White sugar
- Large eggs
- Pure vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Cornstarch
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Milk chocolate toffee pieces
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, swirling frequently until the milk solids turn golden brown and smell nutty.
- Transfer the browned butter to a heatproof bowl and let it cool for 25–30 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
- Whisk the brown and white sugars into the butter until the mixture resembles wet sand, then add eggs one at a time and stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the milk chocolate toffee pieces.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scoop heaping 1.5 tablespoon mounds of dough onto the sheets and bake for 9–10 minutes until the edges are golden.
- Immediately sprinkle with sea salt and allow them to cool on the pan for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
To ensure the best texture, always use room temperature eggs to prevent the cooled brown butter from seizing. For an extra gourmet touch, look for high-quality flaked sea salt for the finishing garnish rather than standard table salt.
