Warning: Seriously addictive.

You can’t just have one piece. Trust me, I’ve tried. Then again, I’m not the best person to ask just to eat one cookie. But seriously, these are the most ridiculously yummy, get-in-my-face-right-now cookies I’ve ever had. Imagine a cookie/brittle/cookie cake, where some pieces are crisp, while others are slightly chewy. It’s just too much even talking about it. I’m literally drooling.

It’s also a great recipe to make for the holidays or any days because 1. It’s delicious. And 2. It’s SO easy. Making them is almost as fun as eating them. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Good one Laney.

Once the dough is made, place it on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Next is the fun part. Place another piece of parchment over the cookie dough and using your hands or a can, smooth out the dough until it looks like this.

I start by using my fingers to press it down, then I take a heavy can and rub it over the parchment paper until the dough is in one even layer. Don’t roll the can, just hold it steady and use it to rub.

I’m totally in love with the natural, rustic presentation of this crack.

It looks inviting, and it’s perfect to add to your holiday table. People can just grab and go.

Except they’ll be back for more.

This recipe makes a decent amount, so it’s another great time to divide and conquer for your holiday baking list.

Go on.. Get crackin.
