Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

OATMEAL MIXTURE;
2 c must be only quick cooking oatmeal, not instant
1 c light brown sugar,packed
1/3 c natural sugar-free apple sauce
1/3 c canola or vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp apple pie spice ( i have one posted, if you don't have any)
DOUGH:
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c finely chopped walnuts(chop then measure)
1/4 c chopped roughly raisins

Steps:

  • 1. Oatmeal mixture: In a plastic container, stir together all ingredients. Mix well until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight. Do not skip this step. This method hydrates the oats. Do not soak longer than 24 hours.
  • 2. Dough: The next day add the eggs,salt and vanilla to the oatmeal mixture and fold in the nuts and raisins. Mix well.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350^. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and spray lightly. Place dough on paper and flatten dough very thin with a fork to 1/8 inch thickness. This is important. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • 4. The cookie brittle is done when it turns a light brown and fairly firm to the touch in the center, and is crisp around the edges. Remove pan from oven and slide the parchment paper off the hot pan and onto a cooling rack. allow to cool 30 minutes.
  • 5. Once the brittle is hard - break into pieces with your hands. If you want uniform pieces, when brittle is still warm score with knife and break on the lines. Store the brittle in a sealed plastic container or baggies.

Tips:

  • For best results, measure your butter and sugar by weight. This will ensure that the brittle has the correct texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the brittle tough.
  • Be patient when you're cooking the brittle. It takes a while for the sugar to caramelize.
  • Watch the brittle carefully as it's cooking. It can burn easily.
  • If you're having trouble getting the brittle to spread out, try using a silicone spatula to press it down.
  • Let the brittle cool completely before you break it into pieces.

Conclusion:

Cookie brittle is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give cookie brittle a try.
