Lol facts. Even baking cookie dough takes too long from the preheating the oven to the baking to the letting them cool so they don’t immediately turn into a gooey mess. But you do benefit alot from having cookies rest. Its the same with marination the flavor gets more intense and delicious. You can always make the dough in advance and freeze.

How many grams of toffee end up goin in? In case we want to substitute with something else

[@jscrub6232]

@@irenechris9017 You can add as much as you want. Also with the cooling of the butter, use milk as you are cooking out fats and re-adding with milk, same ratio 60g. It will pop and go nuts so do be careful. Also when browning the butter don't go so dark. Almost a golden brown. the Chunks should be brown not blackened. Best of luck!

[@marketman1991]

Ive made these cookies twice now. Best ever. Additional tips: Make sure your browned butter is cooled down prior to mixing in with sugar. If its warm to your finger, its good to go in. If it feels "hot" let it continue cooling down before the addition. Shift the flour so the addition is even into the mixture. No clumps Use instant expresso powder. Not expresso grind. Dont overmix your final cookie dough until the addition of chocolate. I like to leave the outside bowl coated in alittle white flour until i add the chocolate. Over mixing cookies = denser cookie

I never knew a cookie could bring me such joy. I think i might go insane from how good it tastes. The nuttiness from the browned butter and its smell is amazing. There was so much salt in the batter for a cookie i was skeptical at first, but it turned out to be great bc it makes it taste like salted caramel and the espresso adds so much depth to the batter. It tastes so much like salted caramel popcorn and i love those especially when its done well. I want to thank you for sharing this recipe to the world and i do not know who taught you how to bake but whoever they are, wherever they may be, i'm sure they're very proud of how far you've come :)

A REVIEW NO ONE ASKED FOR BY SOMEONE WHO JUST MADE THE DOUGH A COUPLE MINUTES AGO: Honestly at first this recipe was really daunting. But after having made the dough it's not as scary as it seems! If you're considering this recipe, keep reading! 1. The toffee? Probably my favorite part of this recipe ngl. I've never made something like it, I haven't even used a candy thermometer before. But it was so easy. Just stir, check the temp. I pulled it off the heat when the thermometer read 280 as opposed to 300, and poured it out. It was lighter and a little thicker than Alvin's. But I put it in the fridge for about an hour, and it turned out perfect. Seriously perfect. Dont just buy premade toffee. Dont skip the toffee. It is totally worth it. 2. Brown butter. I've never browned butter before. I was really worried about burning it, but you just gotta put it on medium heat, let it melt, and then just keep stirring. It might not be like a brown liquid, but rather a golden liquid with brown bits at the bottom. The smell reminded me of the toffee. I added two ice cubes and it was done! 3. The actual dough. Mixing all the dry ingredients together I noticed I accidentally put in baking powder instead of baking soda! I tried to fix it best I could, but if the baking is weird then it's my fault lol. Dont make my mistake. The dry ingredients smelled like espresso. I was a little worried as I dont really like the flavor of coffee, but once I added the butter and the vanilla all the flavors melded into just a great dough. Adding the chocolate and toffee (while snagging a few bites) the dough looked soooo good. Now it's in the fridge, resting while I must wait. So maybe I'll update this in 2-3 days when I bake them. Lol thanks for reading my rambling

[@wereonlyhuman3289]

[@SaucieSun]

[@cazlarg]

hello did you bake them ? How were they ?

[@milkshook8105]

OK UPDATE: lol so I actually baked these last Friday but forgot to update this SO. I decided not to shape them before I put them in the fridge, which was fine but it was very hard to scoop out the dough to form lol. It worked out fine. I decided to make them much smaller than what Alvin did (maybe like half size??) And baked them for about 15 minutes instead of 20. They came out really soft which is how I like my cookies, but over time they have gotten slightly more solid. They baked really well and were done. One this is I put like 12 cookies on the plate. At half the size they grew up a lot surprisingly. Some of them turned more into squares because they merged into each other. So if you want perfect circles you might wanna do like 6 per tray. They came out and looked gorgeous. The chocolate is going to be super melty (obviously) and they are gonna be just warm and gooey and perfect. That's the best time to eat them. Upon taste test, I can conclude that these are *THE MOST LUXURIOUS COOKIES I HAVE EVER EATEN*. I mean, wow. I was worried about the espresso but it adds such a nice flavor that compliments the chocolate and doesnt taste like coffee. The brown butter adds a really nice element to the flavor, it just really makes it taste...not carmelized, but just richer and more melt-in-your-mouth-y. The toffee softened in the oven, so it delivered a nice texture and wasnt too solid as to ruin the cookie feel. I used really big chunks in my cookies so I think chunks are up to you as it didnt ruin anything. One thing I would say is BE CAREFUL WITH THE SEA SALT. I added a little. Then though "eh that's not enough itll be too sweet" so I added more and it was super salty. I'd say go very little with the salt, or if you like sweet stuff maybe not even use it (although a little, once melted into the cookie a bit, tastes good). In conclusion these cookies were freaking delicious and I definitely recommend this. I made about 25 cookies by doing it about half the size as in the video, and they are still big cookies. I also ate a lot of the dough. This is one of the few recipes that I must say to spare the dough because the end result tastes better (which is usually not the case lol). Things that depend on your personal preference are chunk size, cookie size, and length of baking (soft vs crispy). The toffee and the brown butter are actually not as hard as they look! Just keep an eye on it and keep mixing! The smell and taste is totally worth it. After I've just written an essay for these cookies, I'm gonna go eat one now. Bye!

Hello, your recipe looks truly amazing, but with so many views, you didn't even think about converting the quantities into grams so that other people could also make it. It's really unfortunate... ☹(For those who might say that there are people who have already done it in the comments, the measurements are not correct because I tried it and it was a failure (too much butter and sugar which resulted in caramel during baking rather than cookies!))😭

[@Plozie24]

I made these 1 week ago and overall I (and everyone else that ate them) was a huge fan! A few unsolicited observations: 1. I made the cookies according to the recipe but only added half of the toffee and I was glad I did. I enjoy sweets as much as the next guy and I think the entire batch of toffee would have been too overwhelming in these sinful cookies. 2. I baked a cookie immediately, after 24 hours and after 48 hours. The biggest change I experienced with each interval was with the sweetness of the cookie. As time went on, flavors became much more balanced and the extreme sweetness seemed to subside. 3. I tried cookies fresh out of the oven and after they came to room temp. For me, the room temp cookies were more delicious, it was overall more cohesive and interesting cookie to eat. 4. I baked the chilled dough at 350F for 18-21 minutes to achieve a slightly crisp edge and chewy core. 5. I used a 1/3c measuring cup to portion the dough before chilling. These cookies were monster (and thats GREAT!). Will definitely make these again

[@ollienarvaiz3351]

thank you for this! i was worried about it being too sweet, but i never considered that the sweetness would subside as the dough rested. i feel a lot better about making them now!

I'm writing down this recipe so you don't have to: (Ingredients are in the description of the vid) INGREDIENTS Toffee: 1 stick unsalted butter 1 cup light brown sugar 1 tsp kosher salt Brown Butter: 2 sticks unsalted butter 2 ice cubes Dough: 1/2 cup sugar 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar 2 tsp espresso powder 2 tsp kosher salt ½ tsp baking soda 2 eggs 2 tsp good vanilla extract 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 6 oz chocolate, 70% cacao minimum Maldon sea salt METHOD: TOFFEE: 1. heat pan and add butter, brown sugar, and salt. stir till relatively combined. 2. once it reaches 300 F or 150 C it's done. (you'll need a thermometer for this as it must be somewhat exact) 3. take the pan off the heat and pour toffee into a parchment greased baking pan. 4. let harden in the freezer. DOUGH: 1. first combine brown and white sugars, salt, espresso, and baking soda. After combining set aside. 2. in a pan put the needed butter on medium heat until golden brown. the mixture will foam. 3. After taking the pan off heat add an ice cube and mix till melted. 4. add brown butter to the sugar mixture. mix until the butter is completely dissolved and it becomes a brown slop. 5. Next, add two eggs and vanilla extract (feel free to eyeball it). the mixture should be a smooth and lighter shade of brown after mixing is complete. 6. now incorporate the flour bit by bit till it goes from a crumbly scraggly consistency to a smooth golden one. set aside. 7. cut diagonally into the chocolate to create unique shapes. *TIME TO SMASH THE TOFFEE BOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSS* 8. Put shattered shards of toffee into a bag to mutilate even further with a rolling pin till they become chunks. 9. slowly add the chocolate and toffee chunks into the dough and take a bite if you really want to ( i know I do). 10. scoop the dough onto a parchmented (if that's even a word) pan and rest the dough for 48 FREAKING HOURS BECAUSE WHY THE HELL NOT *48 hours later* 11. heat oven to 150 C and 300 F and AGGRESSIVELY SHOVE the cookies into the oven for 20 minutes 12. sprinkle with Maldon salt at the end P.S.A just remember to space the cookies out evenly in the baking tray otherwise they would stick together and cause a disaster
