Loaded Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie Brittle

This Loaded Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie Brittle has it all. Roasted pecans, mini chocolate chips, sweet toasted coconut and milk chocolate covered toffee chips.  Hence the name.  While I’ve never been known to turn away from a cookie, this cookie brittle is a nice change.  I also love that it’s much like peanut brittle in the sense you can break it into any size you want.  Brittle is meant to be random.  So although I give a yield for this recipe, keep in mind it’s really up to you.  You can break this cookie brittle into 20 smaller pieces or 12 large it’s your choice.  I’m not here to judge.

There is leavening in the dough but, no eggs.  That isn’t an omission, there are none in this recipe.  The cookie brittle does expand while baking so, when pressing the dough into the pan leave around 1/2 inch or so around the edge to allow for expansion.

It’s amazingly tasty to be so very simple to make, and there’s no need to pull out a mixer at all.  Cool the cookie brittle completely in the pan then break into random pieces. Serve it as a garnish for homemade hot fudge sundaes or just as is with a glass of milk, of course. The perfect bedtime snack.
