Description
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars are a no-bake, egg-free dessert that delivers all the indulgent flavor of classic cookie dough in bar form. Made with heat-treated flour and loaded with mini chocolate chips, they’re rich, chewy, and completely safe to eat raw.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat-treat the flour by spreading it on a baking sheet and baking at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes. Cool completely before using.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and milk until well combined.
- Gradually add the cooled flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly.
- Press the dough firmly into a greased or lined 8×8-inch pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until firm.
- Cut into squares or bars and serve.
Notes
- Use dark or white chocolate chips for variation.
- Add crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for added texture and flair.
- To make dairy-free, use plant-based milk, dairy-free butter, and chocolate chips.
- Double the recipe for a crowd and use a 9×13-inch pan.
- Let bars sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving for best texture.
