INGREDIENTS
1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups unbleached flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/4 tsp SalterieOne Classic Sea Salt
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
Electric Mixer
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Brown the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat (approximately 5-8 minutes) and cool.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, & SalterieOne Classic Sea Salt.
3. In a mixer bowl, pour butter and both sugars.
4. Using the paddle attachment, beat on a low speed for one minute to incorporate butter and sugars.
5. Add each egg, one at a time, and then the vanilla.
6. Increase the mixing speed to medium-high and beat until the mixture lightens and begins to thicken (approximately 1 minute).
7. Reduce the mixing speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture until just combined.
8. Fold in toffee and chocolate chips and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (The dough will look loose at first but will thicken while you wait.)
9. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and place a rack in the middle.
10. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
11. Using a medium-sized ice cream scoop, drop balls of dough onto the prepared sheets, approximately 1-3" apart. Do not flatten!
12. Sprinkle generously with SalterieOne Classic Sea Salt.
13. Bake until edges are golden brown and firm, but the centers are soft (approximately 9-11 minutes).
