Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks or chips (60–70% cocoa)
1 1/4 cups toffee bits or chopped toffee bars
Flaky sea salt, for topping (optional)
Instructions
1. Cream the cold, cubed butter with both sugars in a stand mixer for 3–4 minutes until fluffy and slightly creamy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each and scraping the bowl.
3. Sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed just until combined.
5. Fold in the chocolate chunks and toffee bits, reserving some for topping.
6. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
7. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
8. Scoop large dough balls (about 4 oz each) and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked.
10. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cool for 10 minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for that thick, gooey Levain-style texture.
Pressing extra chocolate and toffee on top before baking makes a beautiful presentation.
