Preparation
  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes until it turns a lovely brown color and develops a nutty aroma.

  2. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Final Steps
  1. Stir in the toffee bits gently.
  2. Scoop tablespoons of cookie dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them out to allow for spreading. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  4. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Keep an eye on the butter while browning to avoid burning. You can also chill the dough for up to 48 hours or freeze it for future baking.
