Cookies: Chocolate Chip Brittle
By blum099
Note: If using unsalted nuts, add 1/2 tsp -1 tsp of salt to cookie dough. Opt to make these cookies your own, by substituting the peanuts with any nuts of choice (cashews, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts... or even a mixture). Exchange the chocolate chips with other flavored chips you may like. Use all brown sugar or all white sugar, depending on what you prefer. And add other extracts if you like. Oh, and if you don't care for the cinnamon, skip it...

These look so good I am making them for sure. I will use a different nut though, but of course I have to make a few changes. I often end up in the dark after I make something and it's always a challenge to get a good photo. I think your turned of fine!

Lyndsey, Aww... thanks! Looking back, I'm thankful I remembered the recipe, even late at night:)
I am so glad you'd like to try the brittle... it will be so much fun making your own version.
I'd like to make them again myself... and use a few different ingredients... and hopefully make them look prettier:). But the base cookie recipe is great.
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comment. I really appreciate!

~Blessed Beyond Measure~
" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb.11:1
" Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD." Ps.31:24
" By day the LORD directs His love, at night His song is with me—." Ps.42:8
" May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts;
May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O GOD of Israel. " PSALM 69:6
BOW THE KNEE
There are moments on our journey following the Lord
Where God illumines ev’ry step we take.
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,
As we try to understand each move He makes.
When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.
Chorus:
*Bow the knee;
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.
Bow the knee;
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.
And when you don’t understand the purpose of His plan,
In the presence of the King, bow the knee.
There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,
The cold and lonely winds won’t cease to blow.
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;
We are tempted to believe God does not know.
When the storms arise, don’t forget we live by faith and not by sight.
