Ingrediente

For the cookie dough layer:

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons milk

1¼ cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated*)

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup mini chocolate chips

For the topping:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for easier spreading)

Instrucțiuni

Heat-Treat the Flour

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let cool completely before using.

Make the Cookie Dough Layer

In a bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Mix in vanilla and milk.

Stir in the cooled, heat-treated flour and salt.

Fold in mini chocolate chips.

Press the dough evenly into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan.

Make the Chocolate Topping

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

Pour over the cookie dough layer and spread evenly.

Chill and Set

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Cut & Enjoy

Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and enjoy straight from the fridge!
