Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan constantly, until the butter turns deep amber and smells nutty. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer, combine the cooled browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
Fold in chopped cashews, chocolate chips, and toffee bits until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 24 balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and place on baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–12 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
Cool cookies on trays for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Cool browned butter completely before mixing to prevent greasy dough.

For a saltier finish, sprinkle flaky sea salt over cookies immediately after baking.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.

Undercook slightly for extra chewy centers.
