If you like cookies with a crunch, you'll love these golden treats. Crushed peanut brittle adds an expected kick to the vanilla chips and brown sugar that flavor the dough. It's hard to believe something this easy to make tastes so terrific. -Dorothy Kollmeyer Dupo, Illinois

I couldn't find any peanut brittle, so I used Heath Toffee Bits. This is my husband's favorite cookie! Everyone loves it! Definitely a keeper!
