Cookie Brittle

cookie brittle triangles on a cookie rack
  • Serves: 24
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  25 min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups bleached white flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method

Heat oven to 350°

Using a hand held or stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla until light and fluffy. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir the flour in by hand. When it's fully incorporated, stir in the chocolate chips.

Pour cookie dough into a 9 X13 metal baking pan. Press dough very, very, very firmly until the top is silky smooth.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly golden on edges. Cool for 10 minutes then cut into triangles with a sharp knife. If you wait too long they are too difficult to cut, any shorter they will smoosh.
