Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, espresso powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Fold in the toffee bits.
Baking
  1. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart.
  2. Sprinkle flaked sea salt on top of each cookie.
  3. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  4. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Let cookies cool fully before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
