Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons cake flour
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, browned and cooled
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 10-ounce bag dark chocolate chips
  • 1 8-ounce bag Heath Milk Chocolate English Toffee Bits
  • Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

Cooking Instructions:

  • Step 1: Brown the Butter. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring frequently, until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once done, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cake flour, bread flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt.
  • Step 3: Combine Sugars and Butter. In another bowl, combine the browned butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla. Add the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Step 6: Fold in the Chocolate and Toffee. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and toffee bits using a spatula.
  • Step 7: Chill the Dough. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Step 8: Preheat the Oven. While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Step 9: Scoop and Bake. Portion the dough onto the baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Step 10: Bake Until Golden. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown but centers are soft. Cool on baking sheets before transferring to a cooling rack.
