Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Brown the Butter

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. Continue cooking, swirling occasionally, until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma (about 5–7 minutes).

  3. Pour into a large mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. Stir in brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth.

  2. Add eggs, one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.

Step 3: Prepare Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and coffee granules.

  2. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the butter-sugar mixture until combined.

Step 4: Add Mix-ins

  1. Fold in toffee bits and chocolate chips evenly.

Step 5: Bake the Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. Scoop dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) onto sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

  4. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers remain soft.

  5. Cool on sheets 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
