Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and browned)
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups + 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 tsps espresso powder (or instant coffee)
  • 1/2 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Line your baking trays with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and develops a fragrant aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and dark brown sugar with the melted butter. Mix well until fully combined.
  4. Add the large egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  6. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the espresso powder, toffee bits, and mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them, as they will continue to cook while cooling. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for later.
