Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium stainless steel pan, melt 2 sticks of unsalted butter over medium heat until browned.
  2. Add ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of dark brown sugar to the cooled butter and mix until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of bread flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt.
  4. Add 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk, along with 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the cooled mixture; whisk together.
  5. Gradually stir in the combined dry ingredients until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Fold in 10 ounces of chopped semisweet chocolate and 1 cup of toffee bits until evenly distributed.
  7. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Divide the chilled dough into 3-tablespoon sized balls and place them on the baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown and centers slightly soft.
