Heart Warming Story about the Recipe: This recipe won the grand prize $10,000 in the 1995 Quaker Oats Contest. It was such an awesome experience! One of the best things that happened was that a New Jersey newspaper called and wanted to write a story and take my picture. My apartment was small, so we decided to take it at the school where I taught. When the photographer arrived, the 6th graders were so excited and wanted to stay with me in the picture. The happy event, filled with those enthusiastic kids, was featured on the main page of the food section. What a great experience for all of us! They felt so important to be in the newspaper and were able to eat the cookies too. That’s a win-win for everyone!
Cook’s Note: I halved the original recipe for a smaller family serving. I also used two flavors of chocolate chips, dark and semisweet. Edible gold dust can be found at specialty baking stores.
Break into Cookie Brittle: Remove chilled large cookie from cookie sheet; peel off foil. Break each into pieces as desired. Store tightly covered in a cool place.
Prep Time: 30 minutes; Cook Time: about 22 minutes
Yield: about 24 pieces
