Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter, sugar, vanilla and salt. Gradually beat in the flour. The mixture will be crumbly, but keep mixing and you will begin to see the dough come together in clumps. That's the consistency you're looking for. Set the mixer aside and stir in 1 1/2 cups  of the chocolate chips and the nuts. Use clean hands to press the dough into a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan (rimmed baking sheet). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and set. Cool until just slightly warm.
3. Place the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips in a small glass bowl. Microwave 60 to 90 seconds or until melted. Stir until smooth and scoop into a heavy-duty plastic baggie. Snip a tiny corner of the bag; squeeze to drizzle over the cookie. Allow the chocolate to cool and set (place in the refrigerator for quick-setting). Break the cookie into irregular pieces, or use a knife to help cut into wedges.
