Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt 2 sticks of unsalted butter in a medium sauté pan over medium heat, swirling occasionally until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma.
  2. Mix ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of dark brown sugar into the cooled browned butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. Whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ cup of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of fine sea salt, and 1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder in a separate bowl.
  4. Add 1 large egg, 1 egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring until fully combined.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually, then gently fold in 1 cup of chopped semisweet chocolate and 1 cup of toffee bits.
  6. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap, form into a disc, and refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Portion out the chilled dough using a 3-tablespoon-sized cookie scoop onto the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each ball.
  9. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are set but still soft.
