Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars
Ingredients:
For the Cookie Dough Layer:
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Directions:
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
- Make the Dough:
- Gradually add the flour and salt to the mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Press into the Pan:
- Line a baking dish (about 8×8 or 9×9 inches) with parchment paper.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Chill the Dough:
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the dough becomes firm.
- Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
- While the dough chills, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth.
- Top with Chocolate:
- Once the dough is firm, pour the melted chocolate over the chilled cookie dough and spread it evenly with a spatula.
- Decorate (Optional):
- Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for decoration if desired.
- Chill Again:
- Return the dish to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has fully set.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once the chocolate is firm, remove the bars from the dish and cut them into squares or bars.
- Enjoy!
