Imagine a cookie. Now imagine brittle. Imagine them together, and you've got one easy, delicious treat! Chocolate Butterscotch Cookie Brittle is also a great homemade gift for the holidays.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix well. Add the flour in 2 portions, mixing well with each addition. Stir in the butterscotch chips, 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips, and the nuts. The mixture will be crumbly.
Pour the batter into a 9 1/2" x 14" jelly roll pan. Press into an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
While the brittle is cooling, warm the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue heating the chocolate in the microwave in 10-15 second bursts until it is thin and smooth. Transfer to a decorating bag or resealable bag, cut the tip and drizzle of the slightly warm brittle.
When the cookie brittle is completely cool break or cut the brittle into pieces. Enjoy.
