These Brown Butter Coffee Toffee Cookies blend rich, nutty flavors with sweetness, making them a perfect treat for any occasion. The combination of brown butter, toffee bits, and a hint of coffee creates a uniquely irresistible cookie.
Ingredients
For the cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter browned
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
- 1 cup toffee bits
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by browning the butter. Place the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the butter melts and begins to foam. Continue cooking until it turns a golden brown color and smells nutty. Remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour the brown butter into the bowl, mixing well until combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until well incorporated. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee granules.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the toffee bits, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to chill.
Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- After the dough has chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, allowing space between each cookie for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top, if desired. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to maintain texture. For variations, consider nuts or chocolate chips. Enjoy with milk or coffee for the best pairing.
