A friend of mine at work introduced me to a fabulous, wonderful thing a few months ago: Cookie Brittle. It is so delicious! I made my own version last weekend and gave it all away as gifts. So I made another batch today so that we can share it with our families for Christmas. I wanted to share the recipe with you because it is easy, quick, and so so good. It has bliss in every bite!
Cookie Brittle:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
1 1/4 cups mix-ins (use whatever you have, semi-sweet or milk chocolate, white chocolate with cranberries... possibilities are endless!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie pan with parchment paper. Mix the butter and vanilla.
Add in the flour, sugar, salt and mix-ins, using your hands or a wooden spoon mix it all together until well combined. The dough will be fairly dry and crumbly. Dump the dough onto lined cookie sheet.
Press it into a thin layer using your hands. Mine didn't completely fill the cookie tray. The thinner you press it, the crispier it will be and the quicker it will cook, so adjust accordingly. Bake for 20 minutes, check, if edges are lightly brown and center is set, remove from oven. Allow to cool COMPLETELY. Break up into pieces.
Enjoy!
