Easy Loaded Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle Recipe

What is cookie brittle? Think of it as chocolate chip cookies with a fun twist. Instead of scooping the dough into individual cookies, you press the homemade cookie dough onto a sheet pan and bake it as one big, golden slab. Once it’s cooled, you simply break it apart into whatever size pieces you like, just like peanut brittle.

It’s a fun change from traditional cookies, and the irregular shapes are part of the charm. While I estimate a general yield for the recipe, the final amount really depends on how you break it up. No matter the size of the pieces, cookie brittle is crunchy, addictive, and an absolute blast to make!

• Toast Pecans and Coconut – Spread the chopped pecans and shredded coconut on a baking pan. Toast just until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool.
• Sift Dry Ingredients – Use a whisk to sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium-size mixing bowl.

• Combine – Add the sifted flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture stirring until fully moistened.

Recipe Variations, Tips and Substitutions

• No Eggs Needed – Please note, this recipe does use leavening in the dough in the form of baking powder and baking soda. However, there are no eggs. That isn’t an omission, there are none in this recipe.
• Chocolate Chips – I prefer mini chocolate chips for this cookie bark. That being said, you could adapt this recipe using semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or a combination of butterscotch chips or peanut butter chips.
• Nuts – You could use almonds or walnuts in place of pecans.
• Allow Room for Spreading – The cookie brittle does expand while baking,  so when pressing the dough onto the pan leave around 1/2 inch or so around the edge to allow for expansion.
• Toffee Bits – You can use chocolate covered toffee bits or bits-o-brickle in this recipe.
• Break into Desired Size Pieces – You can break this cookie brittle into 20 smaller pieces or 12 large it’s your choice. It’s meant to be random so, have fun with it and get the kiddos involved.
