1. Can I make Salted Caramel Toffee Cookies ahead of time?

Yes, you can make these cookies ahead of time! You can prepare the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze it for up to a month. Simply scoop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze the cookie dough balls, and then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just place the frozen dough on a baking sheet and bake as usual, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.

2. Can I substitute the caramel pieces in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute caramel pieces with caramel sauce or even use homemade caramel. If you want to skip the caramel, try using chocolate chips or peanut butter chips for a different flavor. Just keep in mind that caramel offers a unique gooey sweetness that may be hard to replicate exactly.

3. How do I store Salted Caramel Toffee Cookies?

To keep your Salted Caramel Toffee Cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to a week. If you'd like to keep them for longer, you can freeze the cookies after they cool completely and store them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Simply thaw them before serving.

4. Can I make Salted Caramel Toffee Cookies gluten-free?

Yes, you can make these cookies gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or guar gum to help provide structure to the cookies. Be sure to check the labels of your caramel and toffee pieces to ensure they are gluten-free as well

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, soften the butter in the microwave for 20 seconds (do not melt).
Cream the softened butter with the brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix well.
Stir in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add 1/4 cup of caramel pieces and 1/4 cup of toffee pieces to the dough, saving the rest for garnishing.
Using a cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons), drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. There’s no need to roll the dough into balls.
Bake for 10–11 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately use a mason jar lid or cookie cutter to shape them into perfect circles.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the remaining caramel in the microwave. Drizzle the melted caramel over the cookies and top with the remaining toffee pieces and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Notes

Shape the cookies with a mason jar lid or cookie cutter for uniform circles.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
Freeze dough balls for later baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time when baking from frozen.
Ensure the caramel is still warm when drizzling for easy spreading.
