Print Recipe

These cookies combine nutty brown butter, bold coffee flavor, and sweet toffee bits for a comforting and irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Instructions

  1. Brown the butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the browned butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee granules.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
  5. Add toffee bits: Fold in the toffee bits gently with a spatula.
  6. Chill the dough: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for 30 minutes. This step helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
  7. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  8. Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into balls. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked (they’ll firm up as they cool).
  10. Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for flavor and texture. Underbaking slightly ensures soft, chewy cookies.
