Butter Crunch = Toffee
So the “butter crunch” portion of this recipe is my version of a simple homemade toffee. It only requires 2 ingredients, a heavy saucepan, and a candy thermometer. You will need a baking sheet to spread it out on when you’re done so it can cool and you can easily break it into bits! It’s a really fun ingredient to know how to make on your own.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
Salted butterLight brown sugarGranulated sugarLarge eggsVanilla extractKosher saltBaking sodaAll purpose flourSemi-sweet chocolate chipsFlaked sea salt as a garnish
Homemade Toffee Bits Are Easy To Make!
For the “Butter Crunch” portion of this recipe you will be making your own homemade toffee candy. It’s simple to make, just make sure to go low and slow to bring your butter and sugar up to temperature. The worst thing you could do is turn up the heat to get it going quickly. This will only cause the toffee to burn. Be patient and trust your candy thermometer!

Tips For Making Butter Crunch Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Why Salted Butter?
I use salted butter in almost all of my baking. I know that the “experts” say to use unsalted so you are able to control the exact amount of salt in your dish, or baked treat. This does make a lot of sense, especially to those who are salt sensitive. Different brands of butter can have varying amounts of salt included. But with all that said, I just prefer salted butter. To me it tastes better and I prefer it. I test all my recipes with salted butter because that’s what I buy for my home. And in these cookies it works perfectly because that slightly saltiness that the butter adds in the cookie as well as the toffee really balances out the flavors.
How To Store:
Store these toffee chocolate chip cookies airtight at room temperature for up t 3 days for best freshness. They will still be safe to eat after 3 days, but in my opinion a 5 day old just makes me sad.
Can These Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies Be Frozen?
Absolutely these cookies can be frozen. If you find that you won’t be able to finish a whole batch, go ahead and put them in a zip-top bag and freeze them for up to 30 days for best freshness. You can also freeze the cookie dough if you want to make ahead and bake when needed. Hop over to my full post on How To Freeze Cookie Dough for all the details!
