Kookie Brittle




Source of Recipe


Nestle's


Recipe Introduction


This was a recipe published by Nestle, probably some time in the 1960's. I don't think Nestle has ever published it again, at least I don't recall running across it anywhere. I still have the original recipe that was snipped from the pages of a magazine, advertising Nestle's chocolate morsels.

It was a favorite cookie of mine because it's hard and crunchy, like peanut brittle. It's made without any eggs, so it has a rich shortbread quality. The original recipe called for one 6-oz. package of Nestle's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels. I've since increased the amount of chocolate to 12-ounces...no such thing as too much chocolate! ---Helen



List of Ingredients




1 cup butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
12 ounces Nestle's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine butter, vanilla and salt in a bowl and blend well. Gradually beat in sugar. Add flour and chocolate chips; mix well. Press mixture evenly into an ungreased 10x15-inch baking pan. Sprinkle nuts over top and gently press into dough.

Bake for 25 minutes. Cool completely in pan, then break Kookie Brittle into irregular pieces. Store in air-tight container.


Makes about 1 3/4 pounds of brittle.
