-
STEP 1
Melt butter in small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, watching closely and stirring constantly, until butter foams and turns golden brown with dark brown bits and nutty fragrance. Immediately remove from heat. Pour butter into large mixing bowl, scraping skillet for any browned bits. Cover; chill 1 hour or until solid but still spreadable.
-
STEP 2
Uncover butter; add brown and granulated sugars and salt. Beat at medium speed, scraping bottom of bowl to release brown butter bits, until well mixed. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla; beat, scraping bowl occasionally, until dough is creamy and begins to lighten in color.
-
STEP 3
Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda in small bowl. Add to butter mixture; reduce speed to low. Beat until well combined. Stir in pecans and toffee bits. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, pressing wrap against surface of dough. Chill 3 hours.

STEP 4
Heat oven to 350°F.
-
STEP 5
Drop dough by scant 2 tablespoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Bake 14-16 minutes or until edges are set and golden brown. Do not overbake. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets; transfer parchment sheets to cooling rack.
Tip #1
Chilling browned butter to a more solidified, softened butter-like state makes it easier to blend with other ingredients for the best cookie texture.
Tip #2
Chilling the dough helps flavors meld and keeps the cookies from spreading too thin while baking.
