Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring well to combine.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
Mixing
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  2. Fold in the Heath toffee bits.
Baking
  1. Drop tablespoons of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Sprinkle a pinch of flaked sea salt on top of each cookie.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden.
  4. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze the baked cookies in a sealed bag for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature before eating. Warm slightly in the oven for a few minutes before serving for a soft center.
