Caramel cookies are a classic sweet treat that has won over palates for generations. Their origin dates back to the English tradition with the famous toffee cookies, but each Latin American country has added a special touch to this recipe. In Mexico, for example, they are known as dulce de leche cookies when this ingredient is added, while in Argentina, they are often enjoyed with dulce de leche as a filling, called toffee alfajores. In other countries like Colombia and Chile, they are simply called caramel cookies or toffee cookies, maintaining the essence of their sweet flavor and crunchy texture with caramelized bits.
These cookies combine the smoothness of butter with the crunchy texture of oats and the intense sweetness of English toffee, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. They are ideal to accompany a cup of coffee or tea and make any moment a special pleasure.
