I’ve made this a few times and they have to be the best cookies I’ve ever had! My family and friends love them too 🙂

Hi Mary! I haven’t personally tried it, but I think this could work as a cookie bar. 🙂

This sounds great, and I happen to have all of the ingredients at hand. Wondering, though, if these would fare okay as a bar cookie in a 15 x 9 pan? I’ve done it with my Toll House recipe, but not sure how it will work with this. I think parchment would be crucial for success, but it might be a good time saver if we want cookies fast…and we do!

Hi Maria! You can make it in advance. I would probably melt it so things combine easily, but make sure it’s not too hot when adding it in. 🙂

Hi! Can I make the brown butter in advance? If so should I take it out of the fridge and use it at room temperature? Thanks!

I just had to reply to let you know that my husband has proclaimed these the best cookies I’ve ever made (and I’ve made a lot of cookies in my life) and I have to agree. Definitely my go-to cookie now, I’ve made these twice since Christmas already.

I usually make toffee shortbread cookies (slice and bake), but I found yours in a Google search and the browned butter drew me in. I am making these for my Christmas cookie haul. Your instructions for browning the butter is foolproof! I made some for my Doubletree chocolate chip cookies and have the dough chilling as I write this. I used a stainless steel skillet so I could see it happening clearly. This is one of the next batches of cookies I am making and I can’t wait to try them. My Maldon finishing flakey sea salt is waiting to be used. Thanks for sharing this recipe and it will, most likely be on my regular holiday cookie rotation and I can finally give my shortbread a break.

Another awesome cookie recipe! I’ve never made browned butter before & was surprised how easy it is. It really adds a nice flavour to the dough, it would put edible cookie dough over the top… anyhow, these cookies are great. I didn’t have chocolate toffee, so used half milk chips & toffee bits. I think I cooked mine a little more than you, as they are slightly more brown than yours & a little crisp, but still very tasty. Thank you for another great recipe. Since discovering your site, I’ve been baking like crazy and am going to have the best Christmas cookie trays ever. I can’t wait to try your peppermint bark cookies next. 🙂

Is the 1 cup of brown sugar packed or not packed?

Hi Amber! Did you add the sugars to the butter when it was still warm? That will cause your sugars to melt and your cookies to spread. 🙁

these are so amazing! I only have one question. How did yours not spread? mine spread quite and bit and ended up being really thin. they tasted soooooo amazing!

OMG, I haven’t eaten as many cookies as I did with these in forever. These may be the best cookies I’ve ever made.
I wanted to make toffee cookies for my husband and tried one before this one using the brown butter. It told me to cool the butter for 5 minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients. The mixture was gooey just like Sugarspunrun said it would be.
I made these, waited much longer for the brown butter to cool, and you can smell the brown butter in each and every bite. Thank you so much for sharing. Cant wait to make another batch. AWESOME COOKIES!!!!

Such a great recipe! Browned butter is my new secret weapon. We used 1 c. of regular Heath toffee bits and added 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips… perfection!!!

Hi Samantha! I’m glad you enjoyed the cookies! I haven’t personally frozen them, but they should do well in the freezer, baked or unbaked. 🙂

Love these cookies! Always a big hit during the holidays! Question: does the dough freeze well? How about baked cookies?

Thanks!

These cookies taste amazing!! It’s found the balance of sweet and salty.
I’m bringing most of them to work with me tomorrow. I could definitely eat the whole batch!
