Instructions
 

  • Place the butter in a large saucepan and heat over medium until fully melted.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and continue cooking the butter, swirling it gently in the pan and scraping the sides to prevent burning.
  • Once the bubbling slows and the butter turns a light golden brown with a nutty aroma, remove it from the heat and transfer to a large heatproof bowl. Allow to cool for 25–30 minutes.
  • While the butter cools, chop the Heath Toffee Bars and preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • When the butter has cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and mix with a stand or hand mixer until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and continue mixing on low speed.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking soda.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Heath Toffee Bar pieces using a silicone spatula until evenly combined.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1 to 1 ½ tablespoon portions of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing them 2–3 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Allow the cookies to rest on the pan for 1–2 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container with a slice of sandwich bread. The cookies will remain soft and chewy.
  • Make sure to brown the butter until it’s golden and nutty, but don’t walk away while it’s cooking—it can go from perfect to burned really fast.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies hold their shape and keeps them soft in the middle.
