These Brown Butter Coffee Toffee Cookies are rich, buttery, and packed with a deep, nutty flavor thanks to browned butter. Infused with a hint of coffee and studded with crunchy toffee bits, they’re the perfect combination of chewy, crisp, and indulgent. Ideal for dessert, afternoon coffee, or gifting!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tsp instant coffee granules (or finely ground espresso)
  • 1 cup toffee bits or chopped Heath bars
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips for extra decadence

Instructions

  • Brown the butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and cook until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee granules.
  • Combine: Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Stir in toffee bits (and chocolate chips, if using).
  • Chill dough: For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Scoop and bake: Scoop dough onto baking sheets (about 1–2 tbsp per cookie) and bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  • Cool: Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Use high-quality toffee for the best flavor.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading and enhances texture.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Pair with coffee or milk for the ultimate treat!
