Skip the candy making! These crack cookies have the flavor of Christmas crack filled with butter, chocolate and toffee. One Easy Cookie Recipe. Sticky, salty, completely irresistible.

Why You’ll Be Obsessed With These Cookies

  • No extra candy Steps to make. You can get all the buttery toffee flavor of Christmas crackers without having to make cracks first.
  • Perfectly balanced taste. Brown butter, toffee, and chocolate create a deep, nutty sweetness, served with thin salt and crunchy crackers.
  • Perfection of texture. Each bite feels sticky, chewy, and crunchy at the same time, giving you the best Christmas crack cookie texture.

Christmas Crack Cookie Ingredients

  • Saltines and Swaps: For texture, reserve the brine for medium or use pretzels, graham crackers, golden grahams, cornflakes, Biscoff, or small oyster crackers.
  • butter: Browning butter adds a rich, nutty flavor that deepens the flavor of the toffee. I think it’s worth taking extra steps.
  • taffy: Use toffee pieces, chopped sticks or crushed Werther’s Originals. Bigger chunks add to the crunch. You can also use homemade toffee!
  • chocolate: Semi-sweet works best, but any type will work. For better melting and flavor, use fine chocolate (guitard or chopped bars).
  • Flaky Sea Salt: Don’t skip this! Salt balances the sweetness and enhances the saltiness of the crackers. Keep some flakes whole for texture.

How to Make Christmas Crack Cookies

This crack cookie recipe is so easy! You don’t have to make Christmas crack first. I wanted to express all the flavors without any extra work.

Brown Butter & Combine

  1. Brown Butter: Preheat oven to 350°F, then line 2 to 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Cut the butter into pieces and cook in a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Whisk frequently until foamy, nutty in texture and golden brown. Turn off the heat and transfer to a heat-resistant plate to cool to room temperature.
  2. Dry Ingredients: Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. Mix sugar and butter: Combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cooled brown butter in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat on high speed until combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add wet ingredients: Add eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and sour cream to sugar mixture and mix until combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Combine, cool, and bake.

  1. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Add flour mixture to sugar mixture and mix until all flour is incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. Cold dough: Stir in chocolate chips, toffee bits, and crushed salt crackers. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. baking: Once cooled, use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 1 ½ tablespoon cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet. Leave about 2 inches between them. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center still looks slightly underbaked. As soon as you take the Christmas crack cookies out of the oven, sprinkle each with a little sea salt. Then, let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack to cool.

Alyssa’s Expert Tips

“Instagram-worthy” cookies: Immediately after baking, gently press a few additional toffee, chocolate or cracker pieces into the top. Quick and hot toffee sets to go in no time.
