Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 cup salted butter, browned
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
flakey sea salt, for garnish

Directions:
Directions:
While the toffee is chilling, brown the butter for the cookie dough. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Continue to heat the butter while stirring until it bubbles, turns a golden brown color and gives off a nutty aroma. Then remove from the stove. Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Pour the brown butter into the bowl of your stand mixer or into a large bowl. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl and mix for 1 minute just until well incorporated.. Next, add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until completely combined and the mixture is smooth. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined. The dough should be very soft.

Remove the cracker toffee from the freezer and chop the cracker toffee into small pieces. Fold the cracker toffee pieces into the cookie dough.

Scoop the dough out into 1 tbsp portions and arrange on a parchment or silicone lined cookie sheet. Top with flakey sea salt. Chill dough in Freezer for 1 hour.

Allow the cookie dough to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to baking.
Bake for 9-11 minutes or until spread, and the cookie no longer looks glossy. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan and enjoy!
