Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combine softened butter, caramel cake mix, eggs, and water. Beat until smooth.
- Stir in brickle bits and chocolate chips.
- Drop cookie dough from a spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Make each mound of dough about the size of a golf ball.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned.
- Remove from cookie sheet onto a rack to cool.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using browned butter instead of regular softened butter. If you want a chocolatey twist, feel free to add mini chocolate chips along with the almond brickle bits. If you can’t find almond brickle bits, crushed toffee candies or even chocolate-covered toffee would make a great substitution. Ensure your dough is not too sticky; if it is, chill it for a bit before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These caramel toffee cookies are delicious on their own, but they also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent treat. For a festive touch, serve them alongside a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of coffee. Consider serving them as part of a dessert platter that includes slices of Toffee Treasure Cake or Heath Bar Cake for a delightful experience.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftover cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Just layer the cookies between sheets of parchment paper in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix?
Yes, you can use a vanilla or chocolate cake mix instead of caramel for a different flavor profile. Each will give a unique taste and texture to the cookies, so feel free to experiment based on your preferences.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are lightly browned on the edges and still soft in the center. They will firm up as they cool, so be careful not to overbake them, or they may become too hard.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Absolutely! You can use a gluten-free cake mix in place of the regular caramel cake mix to make these cookies gluten-free. Just ensure that all other ingredients, such as butter and almond brickle bits, are also gluten-free.
