Preparing Cookie Dough Bars
Creating these cookie dough bars is as easy as 1-2-3! You’ll start by making a simple cookie dough, followed by layering it with sweetened condensed milk, then baking until perfectly golden. This straightforward process ensures even the most novice bakers can achieve dessert perfection without any fuss.
What you’ll need
To get started on these scrumptious cookie dough bars, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
If you’re looking for alternatives, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor or use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
