Description

Experience the joy of the holidays with these delightful Caramel Ritz Cracker Christmas Cookies, where crunchy crackers meet sweet caramel and rich chocolate—a festive treat everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box Ritz crackers (about 200g)
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place one Ritz cracker on the baking sheet. Spoon about a teaspoon of caramel sauce onto each cracker and top with another Ritz cracker, creating a mini sandwich.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the caramel is gooey but not burnt.
  4. Allow cookies to cool slightly. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in short intervals until smooth. Drizzle over each cookie.
  5. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.
  6. Let your cookies cool completely before transferring them to a serving platter.

Keywords: Customize your cookies by replacing chocolate with white chocolate or peanut butter chips. Add festive toppings like crushed candy canes for an extra flair. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to one week at room temperature; revive them by warming in a low oven if they lose crunch.
