Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 sticks of unsalted butter over medium heat, stirring continuously until it darkens to a nutty brown, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled browned butter with ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of dark brown sugar. Whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder.
- Crack 2 large eggs and an egg yolk into the butter and sugar mixture. Add 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Gently fold in 10 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate and 1 cup of toffee bits.
- Wrap the cookie dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours (1 hour minimum if short on time).
- After chilling, let the dough sit at room temperature for approximately 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie scoop or measuring 3-tablespoon portions, place the dough on baking sheets. Optionally freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes or until edges turn golden brown. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cool before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Allowing the dough to chill enhances flavor and texture. Measure flour accurately for best results. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 6 weeks.
