Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Butter: Melt the butter over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  2. Mix Sugars: In a large bowl, combine browned butter with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Whisk to ensure even distribution.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until combined.
  6. Fold in Add-ins: Fold in toffee bits and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Chill Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Scoop and Bake: Portion about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
  10. Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
