Description
Easy Christmas Crack Cookies: Crispy, buttery, and irresistibly sweet—these festive cookies layer crackers with a toffee-like topping and soft sugar cookie dough for the ultimate crunchy-chewy holiday treat.
Ingredients
- 24 square crackers (saltines or graham crackers)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 roll (16 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir and bring to a boil for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour the mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Crumble or flatten small pieces of cookie dough over the toffee-covered crackers.
- If using, sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until cookie dough is set and the edges are golden.
- Immediately top with sprinkles.
- Cool completely, then chill for 2 hours before breaking into pieces.
Notes
- Chilling for at least 2 hours helps the pieces set and makes them easier to break.
- You can omit the chocolate chips if you prefer.
- Graham crackers or saltines both work—thicker crackers may need slightly more bake time.
- Store in an airtight container for 3–5 days, or freeze for longer.
