Deliciously rich Salted Caramel Crunch Cookies combine buttery dough with toffee and caramel bits, finished with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet and salty treat. These cookies are crisp on the edges with a chewy center, ideal for any dessert lover craving a special homemade cookie.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Add-ins and Topping

  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 cup caramel bits
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer or by hand until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
  5. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
  6. Fold in toffee and caramel bits: Carefully fold the toffee bits and caramel bits into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout for maximum flavor and texture.
  7. Shape cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the dough balls approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  8. Add flaky sea salt: Lightly sprinkle the tops of each cookie dough mound with flaky sea salt to enhance the sweet caramel and toffee flavors with a salty crunch.
  9. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
  10. Cool the cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on it for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring a perfect texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure proper creaming with the sugars.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough once the flour is added to prevent tough cookies.
  • Flaky sea salt is recommended for topping as it provides a delicate crunch and bursts of salty flavor.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • You can substitute caramel bits with chopped soft caramel candies if unavailable.
