- 1/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt
- 280 grams unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Non-Fat Milk Powder
- 55 grams water
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 215 grams dark brown sugar
- 100 grams eggs (approx 2 large eggs)
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 40 grams water, 115 grams unsalted butter, 100 grams granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon diamond crystal kosher salt. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the butter melts.
- Once melted, let the mixture cook until it reaches 240°F. Use a candy thermometer for accuracy!
- If sugar crystals form on the sides of the pan, wipe them down with a damp pastry brush.
- Continue stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 305°F and turns a beautiful amber brown color.
- Pour the hot toffee onto the prepared parchment-lined sheet pan and let it set completely.
- Store any leftover toffee in an air-tight container.
- In a light-colored saucepan, melt 280 grams unsalted butter until golden brown.
- Add 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon milk powder to the melted butter and whisk until fully combined.
- Continue to cook until the milk solids turn a deep umber color. Transfer it to a heat-proof bowl to cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 400 grams all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons diamond crystal kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon baking soda.
- Finely chop 100 grams of toffee and mix it with 125 grams of Frosted Flakes in a separate bowl.
- Once the browned butter has cooled, add in 55 grams of water, 200 grams granulated sugar, 215 grams dark brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
- Add 2 large eggs and whisk until homogenous and lightly aerated.
- Gently fold in the dry ingredients until only a few dry pockets remain. Then add the toffee and Frosted Flakes until evenly distributed.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Using a 2 oz cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 75-gram balls. Roll each ball in additional Frosted Flakes.
- Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Arrange the cookies on a tray, leaving room for spreading during baking.
- Bake for 13 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for freshness.
