Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
• Melt butter on medium-high heat until it boils, stirring constantly. Then, turn off the heat until the butter resembles an amber color. Let cool completely while making the cookie dough (next steps).
• In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients; brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, and egg with a whisk. When the brown butter is completely cooled, mix into the wet/sugar mixture.
• Then, in a small bowl combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the dry ingredients into the wet in 4 intervals, until fully combined.
• Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula.
• Using your hands, roll the batter into small balls and place on a prepared baking sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.
• Cool and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, kosher salt, and baking powder.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium high heat.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, vanilla, and melted butter. Add the eggs to the butter mixture and whisk until completely combined.
• Slowly fold the butter mixture into the dry ingredients.
• Fold the chocolate chips and toffee bits into the dough.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, add large scoops of the dough to the baking sheet.
• Bake for 11-16 minutes or until the top of the cookie is just golden brown. Rest the cookies to let them finish cooking through and to let them set.
• Serve while warm.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a medium or large saucepan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. The larger the pan you use, the quicker the process will be!
• Bring the butter to a boil, stirring frequently. As the water begins to boil out of the butter, the milk solids in the butter will separate, sink to the bottom, and begin to toast and brown. As this begins to happen, make sure to stir constantly so the butter browns evenly. It may become quite foamy, splatter a bit, and be difficult to see, so keep a close eye on it, removing from heat and continuing to stir if it starts to foam over.
• Once the butter has turned a nice nutty brown, remove from the heat and pour into a large liquid measuring cup to stop the cooking. Allow it to cool down for a minute or two, give it a stir, and carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the butter to bring it back up to 1 cup (240 ml) of liquid.
• Set aside to cool to room temperature. To help speed this process up, you can place in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. You want to make sure the butter is still liquid when you're adding it to the dough later on, so make sure to remove after 15 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the sugars, vanilla, espresso powder, and cooled brown butter. Cream together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
• Add the egg and yolk and beat until incorporated.
• Add the dry ingredients, about ⅓ of the mixture at a time, and beat between additions until just incorporated. It's okay for there to be a bit of unmixed flour on the edge of bowl, this will be incorporated in the next step.
• Using a wooden spoon, fold the chocolate chips and chunks into the dough
• Scoop the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 3-tablespoon-sized mounds.
• For optimal flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or, even better, overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Evenly space the dough 3 inches (8 cm) apart from one another on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 12-14 minutes.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Add the pecans to a large, high-walled skillet. Toast over medium heat for 5-8 minutes, until fragrant and beginning to darken slightly, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
• Pour in the melted coconut oil and stir to combine. Bring to a low simmer and steep the pecans for 8-10 minutes, until the coconut oil is tinted brown and there is a strong nutty aroma. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes, until warm to the touch but cool enough to handle. Strain out the pecans and reserve for another use. You should have about ½ cup of infused coconut oil.
• Add the warm coconut oil to a large microwave-safe bowl, along with the brown and granulated sugars, non-dairy milk, and vanilla. Whisk well to combine. Microwave for 20 seconds, just until the sugars have begun to dissolve.
• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a fork to combine.
• Sift the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and fold with a spatula to combine, being careful not to over-mix.
• Fold in the chopped chocolate and chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
• Scoop the dough with a 2-ounce scoop onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart. Chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, until browned. Let cool for 10 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Wrap the outer bottom of a 7-inch (18 cm) springform pan with 2 layers of foil, going at least halfway up the sides. This will prevent water from leaking into the pan when placed in the water bath. Then, line the inside bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
• Press half of the cookie dough evenly against the bottom and about ⅓ of the way up the sides of the pan. Pour in the cheesecake batter.
• Place the springform pan in an 11-inch (27-cm) round pan or roasting pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform, being careful not to splash any onto the cheesecake. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes. The center of the cheesecake should still jiggle slightly when you shake the pan.
• Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the water bath and let cool at room temperature for another hour, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (160°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a #30 (1-ounce) scoop, scoop the remaining cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You should get about 18 cookies. (Alternatively, wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.)
• Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, until the edges brown slightly. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut 2-3 of the cookies in half, then crush 2-3 more for topping the cheesecake. Reserve the remaining cookies for another use.
• Make the toffee sauce: In a medium pot, combine the brown sugar, cream, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, until starting to thicken. Add the vanilla and flaky salt and cook for another minute, until the salt dissolves.
• Pour the sauce into a heatproof jar, cover, and let cool at room temperature. The sauce will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Once the cheesecake has chilled, use a knife or offset spatula to loosen the cheesecake around the sides of the pan, then release the springform. Transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter.
• Top the cheesecake with the toffee sauce, halved cookies, crushed cookies, and mini chocolate chips.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the toffee: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium nonstick saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar, and salt, stirring until evenly incorporated. If there are grainy lumps or if the fat starts to separate, add a couple splashes of water and stir vigorously to emulsify. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 290°F (143°C), about 10-15 minutes.
• Pour the toffee onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out slightly with a spatula. Freeze until ready to use, about 30 minutes.
• Make the cookie dough: Add the butter to a medium nonstick saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns dark brown and smells nutty. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pot from the heat.
• Add an ice cube to the butter and slowly let it melt. It may froth and bubble. Add the remaining 3 ice cubes and gently stir until melted.
• In a large bowl, combine the granulated and brown sugar, espresso powder, salt, and baking soda.
• Pour the brown butter into the sugar mixture and mix until combined. Don't worry if it looks separated.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Pour into the sugar and butter mixture and whisk until glossy and smooth.
• Add the flour and fold with a rubber spatula to incorporate until the dough has no visible flour streaks.
• Remove the toffee from the freezer (it should be a frozen disc) and break it into chunks that will fit inside a gallon zip-top bag. Double bag the toffee and seal both bags. With a rolling pin, break the toffee into small pieces.
• Fold the crushed toffee and chopped chocolate into the dough until evenly distributed.
• Using a large ice cream scoop or a ½ cup (65 g) measure, scoop the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Wrap the baking sheet in plastic wrap, but leave a small opening at the corner of the tray. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 36 hours. This will allow the flavor to develop and the dough to dry out a little as it rests, which will result in less spread when it bakes.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between the cookies and away from the edges of the pan.
• Bake until the cookies are golden brown with crispy edges, but are still slightly soft in the center, 18-20 minutes.
• Immediately sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt. then let cool completely. The cookies will be very soft at first but will set after they are fully cooled.
• Enjoy!
