The cooking process explained
Making these Cookie Dough Bars is a breeze. The process starts with creaming butter and sugar, giving it that light and fluffy texture we all love in cookie dough. You’ll incorporate baked flour to eliminate any raw taste, followed by sweetened condensed milk for that luscious richness. After folding in some mini chocolate chips and M&Ms, the mixture is spread into a dish, topped with melted chocolate, and chilled until set. It’s a fun and simple method that results in mouthwatering bars that will have everyone coming back for more.
