Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Technically there’s no chips in these cookies, but with a title like that one, it’s like a more the merrier theme we have going on here…so maybe chips would be a nice addition?! …Next time! Okay let’s talk…salted caramel is already a favorite, but have you ever had a browned butter cookie? The browned butter adds a nice chewy texture. The browned butter also gives these cookies a little heartier, nuttier flavor. Small chunks of toffee and mini chocolate chips with a caramel center takes these cookies over the top!

What you need to make Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Here’s the ingredient line up. I’ve mentioned this a bunch, but I just love gathering all the ingredients together like this before starting to bake. It’s just really helpful when it comes to baking. Do you do this step too?

1 and 1/2 sticks or 12 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 cup lightly packed brown sugar very soft
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk room temperature
3 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups + 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup toffee chips
1/2 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
12 caramel squares cut in half
sea salt flakes to sprinkle on top

How to make Browned Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
Start by browning the butter. Melt only one stick of the butter (8 tablespoons) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly as the butter starts to foam and eventually little brown bits form. Immediately remove from heat and pour into a large glass heat proof bowl. Now add the other 1/2 stick of butter into the glass bowl and let the browned butter melt this butter. Let all the butter cool to room temp.
Once the butter is cool, add in the sugars to the butter and whisk until smooth.
Whisk in the eggs and vanilla.
Slowly mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Continue mixing until the cookie dough will be thick.
Fold in the toffee bits and the mini chocolate chips.
Roll about a 2 tablespoon size ball of cookie dough.
Create a little indentation in the center of each cookie dough ball to place the cut square of caramel. Wrap the cookie dough around the caramel.
Place the cookie dough balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
You’ll need to space the cookie dough balls a few inches apart because they will spread. About nine cookies per sheet. Only bake one sheet of cookies at a time for even baking.
Sprinkle each cookie with sea salt before and right after baking if you desire.
Bake 11-14 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

The size of the cookie is up to you, but this ice cream scoop makes it so easy to get nice uniform sized cookies.

I searched all over town for good flaky salt. It seems most salt is either really fine or in big rock chunks. I was so excited to finally find some!

It’s called Falk Salt, and you can find it on Amazon here. It’s exactly what I was looking for! It’s the perfect thin flaky salt to sprinkle on anything and everything! Have you ever tried sprinkling salt on a cookie?! It’s such a flavor enhancer. Plus it’s that salty sweet taste we all love.

You could add nuts to these cookies too, if you’re a nuts person.
