Capricieux Cookie Brittle


If you are pressed for time with your cooking and need to make a dessert, this is your go-to recipe. These mouthwatering cookies take less than ten minutes to throw together and the result is phenomenal.

Ingredients

1 cup butter (Earth Balance)

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsps vanilla extract

1 tsp salt

2 cups flour

10 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (I recommend the Trader Joe's brand)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degress F.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl combine butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Press the cookie dough down onto the pan, creating a thin layer (you can also use a rolling pin to spread the dough).

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cookie dough is golden brown. Allow to cool completely. Break into pieces with your hands to create uneven shards. Enjoy!

Music suggestions:
  • Simple Symphony, Op. 4: II. Playful Pizzicato- Benjamin Britten
  • Violin Concerto in D major- Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
