A crispy, buttery cookie brittle packed with chocolate, nuts, candies, and all your favorite mix-ins—like the best crunchy cookie edge in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup mini M&Ms, toffee bits, or crushed pretzels

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add egg and vanilla; mix until combined.
  4. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt to form a dough.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, and additional mix-ins.
  6. Press dough into a thin, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  8. Cool completely on the pan, then break into pieces.

Notes

  • Add white chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or coconut for variation.
  • Peanut butter chips or crushed pretzels boost flavor and crunch.
  • Make a s’mores version with mini marshmallows and graham cracker pieces.
  • For extra crispiness, press dough thinner and bake until deep golden.
