Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream 113 grams of softened unsalted butter and 200 grams of dark brown sugar together for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of molasses. Mix on low speed until combined and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms, about 2 minutes.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded portions of dough onto the baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are puffed but not fully cooked through.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, spread 1 cup of buttercream frosting on top of each cookie.
  11. Warm 0.5 cup of toffee sauce in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, then drizzle over the frosted cookies.
  12. Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over the toffee drizzle on each cookie.
