Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 saltine crackers
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (divided)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed) (divided)
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Sea salt for topping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lay out saltines tightly in rows.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt ½ cup of unsalted butter with ½ cup packed light brown sugar, stirring until mixture bubbles. Pour over saltines and bake for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
  3. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top; let sit until softened, then spread evenly.
  4. Cool to set in freezer while preparing cookie dough.
  5. In another saucepan, brown the remaining cubed butter over medium heat until golden.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Combine browned butter with sugars, followed by eggs and vanilla until smooth, then mix into dry ingredients.
  7. Fold in most of the toffee pieces and scoop out rounded tablespoons onto lined baking sheets.
  8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft. Sprinkle with additional toffee and sea salt if desired.
