Ingredients

Scale

1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbsp espresso powder
1 cup toffee bits
1/2 tsp sea salt (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, espresso powder, and sea salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Gently fold in the toffee bits and pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean. Let cool completely before slicing.
