Giant Peanut Brittle Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and grease with nonstick cooking spray.
• Stir together the sugar, corn syrup and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy/deep-fry thermometer. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then continue to boil until it's golden brown and it reaches 340 degrees F, about 15 minutes.
• Working quickly, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter and baking soda until smooth (it will foam and bubble up). Stir in the peanuts until evenly distributed amongst the sugar mixture.
• Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and quickly smooth with a rubber spatula into a thin and even layer. Let harden uncovered at room temperature until cooled completely. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 15x10-inch baking pan with aluminum foil; spray aluminum foil layer with cooking spray.
• Beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually beat in flour until combined. Fold 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 3/4 cup peanut butter chips into dough. Press dough into the prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter chips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.
• Remove brittle by lifting aluminum foil out of pan and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 24 bars.

Steps:

• Grease a large cookie sheet. Set aside.
• In a heavy 2 quart saucepan, over medium heat, bring to a boil sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in peanuts. Set candy thermometer in place, and continue cooking. Stir frequently until temperature reaches 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), or until a small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard and brittle threads.
• Remove from heat; immediately stir in butter and baking soda; pour at once onto cookie sheet. With 2 forks, lift and pull peanut mixture into rectangle about 14x12 inches; cool. Snap candy into pieces.

Steps:

• Use a bit of butter to grease a baking sheet, preferably one with a low rim. Combine sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy skillet and turn heat to medium. Stir until smooth, then cook, adjusting heat so that mixture bubbles steadily. Stir occasionally until mixture turns golden brown (which it may do rather suddenly).
• Stir in the peanuts and a large pinch of salt, if desired. Pour mixture onto greased baking sheet and spread out. Cool for about a half-hour, then break into pieces. (You can score brittle with a knife when it has solidified slightly but not yet turned hard; that way, it will break into even squares.) Store in a covered container for up to two weeks.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200°F. Butter 2 cookie sheets, 15 1/2x12 inches, and keep warm in oven. Mix baking soda, 1 teaspoon water and the vanilla; reserve.
• Mix sugar, 1 cup water and the corn syrup in 3-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 240°F on candy thermometer or until small amount of syrup dropped into very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from water.
• Stir in butter and peanuts. Cook, stirring constantly, to 300°F or until small amount of mixture dropped into very cold water separates into hard, brittle threads. (Watch carefully so mixture does not burn.) Immediately remove from heat. Quickly stir in baking soda mixture until light and foamy.
• Pour half the candy mixture onto each cookie sheet; quickly spread about 1/4 inch thick. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Break into pieces. Store in covered container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, beat shortening with sugars and vanilla until creamy. Beat in egg. Add flour, baking soda and salt, mixing until incorporated. Stir in 1 cup (250 ml) Reese's peanut butter chipits, all toffee bits and all peanuts.
• Drop mixture by rounded tablespoons (15 ml) onto prepared baking sheets, about 2" (5 cm) apart.
• Bake each sheet in preheated oven 10 - 12 minutes or until deep golden brown and just set. Cool on sheet, 3 minutes. Remove to wire racks and cool completely. Melt remaining peanut butter chips in microwave on High (100%) about 45 seconds. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
