I love a foolproof cookie recipe.

Despite my best efforts, sometimes my cookies don’t turn out. I often over-bake them. Sometimes I make “creative” ingredient substitutions to avoid a late-night trip to the grocery store.

But I love this recipe. Why?

It’s truly foolproof. Easier than chooolate chip cookies. And much, much quicker to make.

What Is Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle?

Chocolate chip cookie brittle is similar to chocolate chip cookies – with a few key differences:

It’s made in a sheet pan and broken apart.

The recipe uses white granulated sugar exclusively, unlike a chocolate chip cookie recipe that uses both white and brown sugar. This results in a crispier, more brittle-like cookie.

The cookie brittle is drizzled with chocolate.
