VARIATIONS ON CHRISTMAS SALTINE TOFFEE COOKIES
- Crackers: You can use other crackers like club crackers, saltine crackers, matzo, or graham crackers. Either break the crackers in pieces or lay them on a baking sheet and spread the toffee mixture on top.
- Chocolate: Instead of mini chocolate chips, you can add a layer melted chocolate chips or Chocolate Ganache before setting in the refrigerator. Try white chocolate chips and peppermint candies for a Peppermint Bark Toffee Cookie!
- Peanut Butter: Add 1 tablespoon peanut butter to the butter-sugar mixture or sprinkle with peanut butter chips for a Peanut Butter Saltine Toffee Cookies.
- Nuts: Sprinkle your Christmas Saltine Toffee Cookies with chopped nuts like pecans, cashews, almonds, or peanuts. Toast the nuts for more flavor!
- Candy: Instead of sprinkles and chocolate chops, top with candy like M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, rainbow chips, or toffee bits.
- Marshmallows: Top with mini marshmallows or mallow bits (sugary cereal marshmallows), or chop up Homemade Marshmallows. Use 1 cup marshmallows instead of brown sugar for extra chewy Christmas Saltine Toffee Cookies.
