croissant brittle - the best cookie you will ever eat
crispy, buttery, sweet and delicious. these easy to make cookies will wow literally everyone that eats them.
Ingredients
- 4-6 medium croissants
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup sugar I used raw sugar
- 1 teaspoon Colima Sea Salt
- Coarse sugar maybe mixed with cinnamon?, for sprinkling
Instructions
- preheat oven to 300 degrees. line a baking sheet with parchment — do not try to do this without parchment.
- slice the croissants into as equal size pieces as you can, maybe 1/4 inch thick. i sliced mine vertically, to try to get pieces that were as even and as cookie like as possible.
- put the half and half, sugar, and salt in a deep skillet and bring to a boil. reduce to low and simmer until sugar is dissolved. turn off heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- dip the croissant pieces in the syrup, until they are drenched, but not dripping. transfer to your prepared pan.
- bake for 45 minutes or so, until the pieces are deep and golden. you may have to remove smaller pieces from the pan as you go. you can taste a warm one — it should be chewy, and will crisp up as it cools. if it’s still a bit soggy, continue baking for a few more minutes.
- let cool completely and store in an airtight container.
