Cookie Brittle A version of this wonderful recipe appeared on a chocolate chip cookie package years ago, and I've never seen it since. It's a marvelous twist on the traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe, using tender, melting shortbread as the base.
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened (NOT margarine) 1-1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 cups flour 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped pecans, OR more chocolate chips 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips Preparation: Combine butter, vanilla, salt and sugar in a large bowl and beat together until well blended, using the back of a spoon. Stir in flour until just mixed. Add 2 cups chocolate chips and nuts. Press cookie dough evenly into a 15x10" jelly roll pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-25 minutes, until light golden brown. Check at the 15 minute bake time, then watch cookies carefully; they go from light brown to burnt around the edges very quicky. Let cool in pan on wire rack. Place 1/2 cup chocolate chips in microwave-safe glass measuring cup and microwave on 50% power for 1 minute; stir until melted. Drizzle over the cooled cookies. Then break the cookies into irregular pieces. Store in airtight container. 16 servings Helen Whitehead email: and msn: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: honeybunny1958 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
