Ingredients

Scale

  • 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour

Instructions

  2. Brown the Butter: In a light-colored saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring constantly until golden and nutty.
  3. Mix the Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until creamy.

  8. Cool and Enjoy: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra chewiness, underbake the cookies by a minute or two. Can substitute toffee bits with chocolate chips or nuts.
