Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 16 tablespoons
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Equipment

  • 1 Light-colored saucepan
  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • 2 Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. In a light-colored saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, swirling the pan, until it foams and golden-brown solids form at the bottom and it smells nutty. Immediately pour into a large, heatproof bowl.
  2. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the hot brown butter and whisk until combined. Whisk in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chunks and toffee bits.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 48 hours.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls and place them 2-3 inches apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, do not skip chilling the dough. It's crucial for flavor development and preventing the cookies from spreading too thin.
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
