## Instructions

1. Combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter and 1 cup light brown sugar in a saucepan.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat.
3. Allow the butter to melt and whisk it together with the sugar.
4. Bring the mixture to a bubble, whisking consistently.
5. Use a candy thermometer and wait for the mixture to reach 300°F (about 8 minutes).
6. Remove the toffee mixture from heat and pour onto a silicone or parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Quickly spread the mixture out with a spatula to a smooth slab.
8. Let the toffee cool for 20 minutes until hardened.
9. Break the toffee apart into small pieces using a mallet wrapped in plastic wrap.
10. Melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the milk solids have browned and the butter is a nutty brown color.
11. Transfer the browned butter to a Pyrex cup, and add 2 tablespoons of water to make the liquids equal to 1 cup.
12. Allow the browned butter mixture to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
13. In a small bowl, mix together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp baking soda.
14. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar with the cooled brown butter.
15. Whisk vigorously to combine the sugars and butter until homogenous.
16. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 rounded tsp espresso powder, then whisk to combine.
17. Next, add 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk, whisking to combine thoroughly.
18. Add the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) to the wet ingredients.
19. Mix gently with a spatula to combine, stopping once no more streaks of flour are visible and a dough has formed.
20. Add 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks, 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks and 1 cup toffee bits.
21. Mix once more to combine the chocolate and toffee bits into the dough.
22. Use a 3 tbsp cookie scoop to portion the cookie dough onto a lined plate or baking sheet.
23. Cover the scooped cookie dough and place it in the freezer for at least 3 hours or overnight.
24. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F.
25. Bake cookies for 15 minutes until golden brown.
26. Remove the cookies from the oven.
27. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack after 5 minutes.
28. Sprinkle the cookies with flaky salt.
