Holiday Sugar Cookie Brittle
This Holiday Sugar Cookie Brittle is a quick and easy dessert with all the flavors of classic sugar cookies, broken into shareable, crispy pieces topped with festive sprinkles.
Ingredients
- - 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- - 1 cup granulated sugar
- - 1 tsp vanilla extract
- - 1/2 tsp almond extract optional
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1/4 tsp salt
- - 1/4 cup holiday sprinkles or colored sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract (if using) and mix well.
- Gradually mix in the flour and salt until the dough comes together. It will be slightly crumbly but should hold when pressed.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the holiday sprinkles or colored sugar evenly over the top, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, remove the cookie slab from the pan and break it into irregular pieces like brittle.
- Serve and enjoy or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Notes
- For a festive twist, drizzle melted white chocolate over the brittle after breaking it into pieces.
- Substitute sprinkles with crushed candy canes for a peppermint flavor.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked on a large sheet pan for more servings.
