🍪 Double Chocolate Toffee Cookies
These Double Chocolate Toffee Cookies are deeply chocolaty with a soft, fudgy center and crisp edges. Bits of toffee throughout create caramelized bursts of flavor, making these cookies the perfect balance of sweet, salty, chewy, and crunchy.

Ingredients
- 1 cup 2 sticks / 226g unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup 200g packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup 100g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups 240g all-purpose flour

Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream Butter & Sugars
- In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add Eggs & Vanilla
- Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Fold in Chocolate & Toffee
- Stir in chocolate chips and toffee bits until evenly distributed. Chill dough for 30 minutes if you have time (optional, but helps prevent spreading).
Scoop & Bake
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set and centers are soft.
Cool & Serve
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm, if desired.
