Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugars. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  • Add the wet ingredients. Mix in the eggs, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ¾ cups flour (reserving ¼ cup), salt, and baking soda.
  • Form the dough. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  • Add mix-ins. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips, ½ cup toffee pieces, and ½ cup crushed saltine crackers. Stir just until combined.
  • Shape the cookies. Roll the dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls and place 6 at a time on the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly.
  • Bake. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still slightly soft.
  • Cool. Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Decorate. Spread a layer of melted chocolate over each cooled cookie, then top with Christmas sprinkles, additional toffee bits, and remaining crushed saltine crackers.
  • Set and serve. Let the cookies cool completely until the chocolate hardens before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Store these crack cookies on the counter rather than in the refrigerator, as the chocolate gets hard when it’s cold.
  • An electric mixer is your friend! Whether it’s a hand or stand mixer, both are much better at getting the perfect cookie than your standard whisk.
  • Allow the chocolate topping to set before serving to ensure the decorations stay on, and they’re easy to move for serving or even storage.
