Violet crumble cookies are a twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies. A butter biscuit packed with shards and chunks of Australia's favourite honeycomb bar.
I believe in life you generally fall in the dog person or cat person category. Myself, I’m a dog person. I have always felt the same applies for Crunchie and Violet Crumble. You fall in one or the other’s camp.
For my non Aussie readers, Crunchies and Violet Crumbles are honeycomb style chocolate bars. But one is better than the other. As you could probably tell from the title above, I’m a Violet Crumble girl.
These Violet Crumble cookies came about when I was experimenting with a basic choc chip cookie recipe. I must say, I was very happy with the outcome.
In the recipe below, where I say ‘smashed’ in reference to the Violet Crumble, it means you can vent a little anger and smack the bars with a rolling pin or meat mallet.
The idea is to create shards and large chunks, you don’t want to completely pulverize the bars. Trust me this is harder than you may think. Unless you are more controlled than I am, I tend to get carried away with the smashing.
The cookies did a major disappearing act once they were baked from my kitchen. The boys seemed to scoff them into nothingness pretty quickly, and as you can see from the photos below, even Sally did.
