Method
 

  1. Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty, then cool slightly.
  2. Whisk browned butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt separately, then combine with wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in toffee bits and chill dough for 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Notes

Chilling the dough helps create thicker cookies with chewy centers. Watch the butter closely while browning so it doesn’t burn.
