No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars! is one of my all-time favorite foods, After doing some research I found this recipe and I have made it in the past and it is absolutely delicious!
What You'll Need
- One half cup (One stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- three quarter cup packed light brown sugar
- One tsp vanilla extract
- Two cups all purpose flour
- One (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
- 12-ounce bag (about Two cups) mini chocolate chips
- 12-ounce bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
frosting
How to Make It
- Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
- I use my stand mixer, but you don't have to. Just beat it really good so it's light and creamy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Beat in the condensed milk and the flour, alternately, mixing after each addition.
- Mix in the chocolate chips.
- Spray a 8x8 square baking pan with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper with long ends so you can lift out the bars for easy cutting later.
- You can skip the paper if you want to cut and serve them right out of the pan.
- Turn the dough out into the pan and pat down evenly with your hands.
- You may want to flour your hands as the dough is sticky.
- Smooth it out evenly, I used an offset spatula to finish the job.
- Cover and refrigerate until firm, (about 3 hours) or even overnight if you like.
- To make the chocolate topping, put the semi sweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup and microwave for one minute.
- Stir, and then return to the microwave for short bursts of 15 seconds until the chocolate is totally smooth and melted. Don't over heat.
- Let the chocolate cool for about 5 minutes, and then pour onto the dough.
- Spread out evenly. Return to the refrigerator until the topping is firm.
- Cut into 16 squares.
- Keep the bars in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
