Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Brown the Butter: In a pan, melt butter over medium-low heat, swirling occasionally for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  • Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: Combine brown butter with sugars in a stand mixer, then add vanilla, eggs, and yolk.
  • Blend Mixtures: Gradually add dry mixture to wet, then fold in chocolate chips, toffee bits, and pecans.
  • Shape Cookies: Roll dough into 3-tablespoon balls and place on baking sheets, spacing evenly.
  • Chill Dough: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Bake: Bake for 10-11 minutes until golden brown on edges. Cool on sheets for 10 minutes.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Freeze cookies for up to 3 months. Reheat in microwave or oven for best results. Chilling dough longer yields thicker cookies.
