In reply to Claudia. Hi Claudia! I haven't personally done it. It's worth a try, but you may need to make some other adjustments to the flour. Enjoy! :)

Tried this and loved it! But I feel like I can still deepen the flavour by browning the butter and refrigerating it back so I could do the regular creaming method. You think it would work?

In reply to Diane. Hi Diane! I think it will be ok. It may not get as crisp and may take a little longer to bake.

In reply to Sam Merritt. Any reason not to line the pan with parchment paper??

Hi Sam! I'm truly not surprised to read such glowing praise for this confection, but I have a question I didn't see addressed in either the narrative, or comments. Can this be frozen after baking & breaking? Never thought I'd hear those 2 words in the same sentence I'd like to get a head start on my Christmas baking. Many thanks, for all the great recipes!

HUGE hit with all my condo neighbors (which was my trial run) today I bake to ship to college grandchildren in their once a month cookie shipment. Grandma

Sam, having never heard of Cookie Brittle before but knowing I could trust another of your recipes I knew I had to make it for our family’s Sunday snack. It was easy to make. In the recipe itself I used all mini chocolate chips. Then I pressed the dough through parchment with a large flat bottomed measuring cup to make the dough “ mini chocolate chip” high. I used larger chocolate chips on top before baking. I cut them with a pizza cutter into small squares which snapped easily into beautiful little crunchy crispy bites. Delicious and addicting. Family loved them. A lot. The next day they were texting me asking for more! Compliments to you Sam. Wonderful recipe. Yet another keeper for our family. Thank you.

In reply to Karen Bend. Hi Karen! I don't think you would have any issues doing either of those. :)

Hello Sam,
If I was to substitute white chocolate chips or add any nut to this, do you think it would still be have the same crispness?

In reply to Stephanie. Any will be fine. I typically use semi-sweet. :)

In reply to Sugar Spun Run. Would you recommend milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips?

In reply to Stephanie. Thank you so much, Stephanie! I am so glad that you have enjoyed my recipes and your coworkers have benefited from your baking. lol. Yes, condensed milk and sweetened condensed milk are the same. As far as chocolate chips, I love to use Ghirardelli chocolate chips. I hope that helps. Let me know how you like the chocolate chip cookie brittle when you finish baking it. I hope you love it! :)

I have been loving your recipes, as have my coworkers, and I’m looking forward to trying this one. What kind of chocolate chips should be used? Is condensed milk and sweetened condensed the same thing?
