Best Easy Cookie Brittle Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BRITTLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F/175°C.
• Set aside a large (12×17) rimmed baking sheet.
• In a medium saucepan on medium heat combine the butter and sugar, stirring constantly. Once butter is melted, cook for one more minute and remove it immediately from the heat, being careful not to bring the mixture to a boil. Alternatively place butter and sugar in a large heat-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for 90-120 seconds until the butter is melted and sugar has dissolved slightly. Whisk mixture until it is combined.
• Let the mixture cool for 5 minutes and then whisk mixture again for 1 minute.
• Whisk in the vanilla and the salt.
• Stir int he flour until the dough forms and then stir in the pecans and chocolate chips.
• Press the dough onto the ungreased pan spreading it out all the way to the edges, you want the brittle to be thin.
• Bake for 22-25 minutes, rotating the pan every 7-8 minutes until it's lightly golden and firm to the touch in the center.
• Let the brittle cool in the pan for 3 minutes and then line a counter or second baking sheet with parchment paper and invert the first pan onto the second, and allow it to cool completely.
• Break the brittle into pieces and enjoy!

CRACKER COOKIE BRITTLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with heavy-duty aluminum foil.
• Place the crackers on the foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer, so they overlap like shingles. Melt the butter with brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and boil for 3 minutes. Pour the butter mixture evenly over the crackers.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; remove from oven, and sprinkle crackers with chocolate chips.
• Let stand about 2 minutes, until the chips are melted, and spread them over the crackers with a spreader or kitchen knife. Sprinkle with nuts, if desired. Allow to cool completely, about 1 hour; break into chunks, and store in airtight sealed container.
