Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle



my family

are cookie people



really

i don't even think we can be friends

with those who aren't

cookie people

i mean

what would we have to talk about?



what would we eat when we're together?

when my mother-in-law

first introduced us to Brownie Brittle

we thought it was the latest and greatest

cookie-related invention



recently

i started thinking about our favorite

chocolate chip cookies

and wondered if they could be adapted

into a brittle



yes



the answer is

yes!



so a few days ago

Judah and i found a recipe we liked



altered it a little bit

and baked away

 and our new Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle

was fabulous



 buttery

chocolatey

and oh-so-crisp-and-crunchy



of course

i wouldn't necessarily recommend

baking it at the same time

you're making  tortillas



unless you enjoy the mingled scent

of chocolate and garlic



then go right ahead



but please make these soon



so we can stay friends

 To Make:
Ingredients
  1. 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  3. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  5. 3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
  6. 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  7. 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
Instructions
  1. Combine first 4 ingredients; set aside.
  2. Stir together butter and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; add flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Stir in chocolate morsels. (Dough will look crumbly.)
  3. Press dough evenly into a lightly greased 15" x 10" jelly-roll pan, pressing almost to edges.
  4. Bake at 350° for 19 minutes or until lightly browned and cookie "slab" seems crisp. Cool completely in pan. Break cookie into pieces.
Notes
  1. You can add in one cup of peanuts before baking, if desired.
