When hot, add in the butter and cook stirring frequently. Continue to cook the butter and continue to stir. Step 2: Once the butter is melted, it will start to foam a bit, the smell will start to change to a nutty aroma, and you will start to see lightly browned specks beginning to form at the bottom of the pan. This should take about 10 minutes. Step 3: Once done, let cool slightly and place in a container and place in the fridge until solid again. Set your oven to 375ºF. Step 4: After you’ve chilled the browned butter and toasted the nuts, you’re ready to make the cookies! for the cookies: Step 1: Sift the salt, baking soda, and flour together into a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment*, beat the browned butter, shortening, and sugars together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 6 - 7 minutes. Be sure to stop once, scraping down the sides of the bowl, to ensure all the butter and shortening is mixed in. Step 2: Next, add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla beating well. If you do not have a stand mixer, you can use a hand mixer up until the addition of the dry ingredients. Step 3: Then fold in the chocolate chips, brickle, and nuts by hand. Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to butter mixture, with the mixer on low until just blended. Stir in chocolate chips, brickle, and nuts. Step 5: Chill cookie dough for 15 minutes. Scoop cookies onto a lined baking sheet.

Step 2: Cut in the grated butter with your hands or with a fork, until a crumblike texture is formed with small pieces of butter throughout. Step 3: Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the water. Step 4: Fold the dough together a few times with a spatula until just mixed but still crumbly. Do not overmix! Step 5: Divide the dough in half, flatten each ½ into a thick disk, cover in plastic wrap, and chill for about an hour. When you are ready to roll out the dough, heat the oven to 425° Step 6: Flour the work surface. Roll out one half of the dough to ⅛ ” thick and into a rectangle, stopping every couple of rolls to make sure the dough isn’t sticking. Gently lift the dough and lightly flour underneath as you go. Do the same with the other half of the dough. Step 7: Once you are at the desired thickness, start cutting. Do the same with the other half. I used a square cookie cutter to make my pop-tarts and was able to get about 10 pop-tarts total. Step 8: On 5 of your squares, cut out a heart with a 1” heart-shaped cookie cutter. Step 9: Spoon a tablespoon of your filling of choice in the center of 5 squares. Take a bit of water on your finger and dab the edges of each square. Step 10: Top with another square with the heart cut out, and gently press the edges together to seal them. You can also use a fork to seal the edges all around. My cutter was scalloped so I just lightly pressed them together. Step 11: Place the tarts on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 15 minutes. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Step 12: For the icing, whisk together in a small bowl until smooth. Step 13: Once the pop-tarts are cool, frost them with the icing and add any decorative sprinkles. Previous Next
