Make toffee. Add 1 stick of unsalted butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt in a saucepan. Mix until everything is melted. Once it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s done. Remove from heat and pour in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread and place in the freezer to let it harden.
In a big bowl, add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 cups of dark brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of espresso powder, 2 teaspoons of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix until well combined.
Place a saucepan over heat and make the brown. Add 2 sticks of unsalted butter and cook until golden brown. Remove from heat and 2 ice cubes. Mix until melted.
Pour the brown butter onto the dry mixture and mix until well combined. Add 2 eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir until well incorporated and smooth.
Add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix until it becomes a nice dough.
Cut the chocolate into small pieces and set aside. Get the toffee and use a spoon to make cracks. Place the toffee inside a zip lock bag and crush it into pieces using a rolling pin.
Add the crushed toffee and chocolate to the dough. Mix until well incorporated.
Scoop the dough into a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them with cling wrap, place them inside the refrigerator, and let them chill for about 48 hours.
Remove from the fridge and place the cookie dough balls on a different baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure to give them spaces in between. Place inside the oven and bake at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.
Once done baking, remove from the oven and sprinkle sea salt on top of the cookies. Let it cool for a little bit then serve. Enjoy!
