Ingredients

  • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 9 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 6 ounces toffee bits

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
  • Make the brown butter by heating 8 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat until brown bits form. Try not to walk away as it can burn very quickly. Immediately remove the butter from the heat, and set it aside to cool completely.
