Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook the butter, swirling the pan, until it turns golden brown and gives off a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For a crunchy addition, try adding chopped walnuts or pecans.

If you prefer dark chocolate, swap the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate chips.

For a tart twist, try adding dried cranberries or cherries.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months.

If freezing cookie dough, scoop into portions, freeze on a baking sheet, and then store in a ziplock bag. Bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
