Notes
Chilling the dough for 20–30 minutes can help prevent cookies from spreading too much.Slightly underbaking the cookies helps keep them soft and chewy.Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top before baking to enhance the caramel flavor.Use high-quality toffee bits for the best buttery caramel taste
