Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Combine Sugars: Pour cooled butter into a bowl, add both sugars, and mix until creamy.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, and espresso powder together.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the eggs and vanilla into the sugar mixture until smooth. Gradually fold in dry ingredients.
  5. Add Chocolate and Toffee: Gently fold in chocolate and toffee bits, then chill the dough for 24-72 hours.
  6. Portion and Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F, scoop dough onto lined baking sheets, and bake for 12-14 minutes.
  7. Reshape: Use a cookie cutter to reshape cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.
  8. Finish & Cool: Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cool on wire racks.
