How to Make Almond Brittle Bar Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray or baking parchment.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  8. Fold in 1 cup chopped toffee bars, ½ cup chopped almonds, and 1 cup chocolate morsels.
  9. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly browned.
  11. Immediately sprinkle 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate morsels over the warm cookies.
  12. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 2 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted.
  13. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cookies using a spatula.
  14. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of chopped almonds.
  15. Let the cookies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
