Description

Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars are a delightful, no-bake treat combining the irresistible flavor of cookie dough with the convenience of easy bar preparation. These bars feature a rich, buttery dough studded with classic chocolate chips, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

Cookie Dough Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional Topping

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the dough tender.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  4. Press Dough into Pan: Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Press the prepared cookie dough evenly into the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula or your hands.
  5. Chill the Bars: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the bars for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut into squares.
  6. Add Optional Chocolate Drizzle: If desired, melt additional chocolate chips and drizzle over the chilled bars for an extra chocolatey touch. Let set before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Cut into bars and serve chilled for a delicious, no-bake cookie dough treat.

Notes

  • These bars are best stored in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
  • Make sure to use heat-treated flour if serving the dough bars to children or individuals concerned with raw flour safety.
  • You can substitute mini chocolate chips with regular size chips or chunks for varied texture.
  • For a nutty variation, add 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough.
  • Try rolling the dough into balls and freezing for quick individual treats.
