Cookie brittle is a particularly great hack for the holidays or any time you’re entertaining when you don’t have time or the oven space to bake multiple trays of cookies.
Ingredients
1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, cooled
1 c. (215 g.) packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 c. (240 g.) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
Direction
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined. Add flour and salt and stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Stir in chocolate chips.
Spread dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pat into a thin, even layer with your hands (the dough may not go all the way to the edge).
Bake brittle until golden brown all over, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool, then break into pieces.
