Caramel Crunch Brown Butter Cookies

Course Dessert
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup caramel bits or chopped caramel candies
  • 1 cup crushed buttery caramel-flavored cereal e.g., Cap'n Crunch's Caramel Popcorn Crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter foams and turns golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fold in the caramel bits and crushed cereal until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Enjoy your delicious Caramel Crunch Brown Butter Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
