Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Brown the Butter - In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter turns a deep golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, dark brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix with a whisk until well combined. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients - In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, corn starch, sea salt, and baking soda until fully combined.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Use a spatula to fold the mixture together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Add Chocolate and Toffee - Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped toffee candy bars until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  6. Step 6: Chill the Dough - Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps to enhance the flavors and improves the cookie's texture.
  7. Step 7: Preheat the Oven - While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
  8. Step 8: Scoop and Bake - Once the dough is chilled, use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking. Sprinkle a pinch of coarse sea salt on top of each cookie.
  9. Step 9: Bake - Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft. Remember, the cookies will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet after removing them from the oven.
  10. Step 10: Cool and Enjoy - Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookies warm or at room temperature!

Notes

  • For an extra flavor boost, try using different types of chocolate chunks.
  • Make sure to chill the dough for optimal texture and flavor.
