Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling occasionally until it turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Transfer the browned butter and espresso mixture to a mixing bowl, then let it cool until it's slightly solidified, about 30 minutes.
  3. Use an electric mixer to cream the cooled browned butter with both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add one large egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the Heath toffee bits gently with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a large cookie scoop, portion out dough balls onto a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) about 20 minutes before baking.
  9. Space the chilled dough balls on prepared baking sheets and sprinkle a pinch of flaked sea salt on top of each cookie.
  10. Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
