Millionaires Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 160 g browned butter, cooled
• 260 g all-purpose flour
• 180 g light brown sugar
• 50 g granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp fine salt
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 3/4tsp baking soda
• 150 g good-quality dark and/or milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 100 g toffee bits

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the browned butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the egg and egg yolk and whisk again until fully combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
3. Switch to a spatula and fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. When the flour is halfway incorporated, add the chocolate and toffee and continue folding just until no dry streaks remain.
4. Scoop the dough into balls (about 70–75 g each) and chill for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
5. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 170°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place 4–5 cookies on the tray, leaving enough room for spreading.
6. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look underbaked. They will continue to set as they cool.
7. Allow cookies to cool completely on the tray. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
8. Notes: Oven temperatures vary. If using a fan-assisted oven, reduce to 160°C. For accuracy, use an oven thermometer.
