Browned Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make Browned Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix: Betty's classic chocolate chip cookie mix is the base for this rich toffee cookie.

Butter: Browning the butter gives these cookies a nutty, caramel flavor that makes them taste like they’re from a bakery. Salted or unsalted butter works here.

Toffee Bits: Toffee complements the browned butter with additional rich, buttery notes. Toffee bits can usually be found in the baking aisle of your grocery store. Both plain toffee bits or those with milk chocolate work in this recipe.

Water: A simple but important ingredient that helps with the texture of the cookies.

Egg: A large egg helps bind all the ingredients together and contributes to the texture of the cookies.
