Why You’ll Love This Recipe!

Remember that yummy Brownie Brittle I shared a while ago? I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.  I started thinking up all kinds of fun flavors of cookie brittle and since chocolate chip cookies are my favorite I decided to start with that one.

This Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle may just become your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s buttery, crunchy and crispy!

What is Cookie Brittle?

It has all the flavor of a chocolate chip cookie but is thin and crisp shortbread cookie with chocolate chips added in. It’s the perfect thing to dunk in a nice cold glass of milk.

ingredients for chocolate chip cookie brittle

Ingredients Needed

  • Butter. I use salted butter 
  • Pure Vanilla Extract
  • Granulated sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Flour. I use unbleached all purpose flour.
  • Salt
  • Mini chocolate chips

Note:

  • There are no eggs or leaven in this recipe (such as baking soda or baking powder). The lack of leaven and eggs give you the nice crunchy, crispy brittle like cookie.

How to Make Cookie Brittle

  • Mix together butter, vanilla, salt and sugars in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until blended.

  • Stir in flour and chocolate chips and mix.

  • Press mixture into an even layer in ungreased 15 x 10 jelly roll style rimmed baking sheet. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

  • Cool on a wire rack. It will crisp up as it cools but If it is not crisp enough return to oven for another 5 minutes
  • After it has cooled, break into pieces or you can use a pizza cutter to cut through before it has completely cooled. Then allow to cool completely before removing the pieces from the pan.

Ways to serve Chocolate Chip Cookie brittle:

  • Crumble it over ice cream
  • Serve it with a glass of milk
  • Package it up and give as gifts.
  • Enjoy it just as it is!

Tips from leigh Anne

  1. In order to keep it crisp, it needs to be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. But honestly, I never have any leftover!
  2. Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle freezes great. Just be sure it is in an airtight freezer container and it will keep for several months. Enjoy it frozen or allow to thaw at room temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions

My cookie brittle isn’t crisp enough?

You may find that after it has cooled, that part of the pan isn’t as crisp as the rest. To fix this, just stick that section of the cookie bark back in the oven for about 5 more minutes and it will crisp right up.  Because it is a shortbread base it is nice and rich and buttery.

Can I use regular size chocolate chips?

I prefer the mini size chocolate chips but you can totally use regular size chips if that is all you have.

Can I add nuts to chocolate chip cookie brittle?

Absolutely. Some chopped pecans or walnuts would be great.
