No Bake Cookie Dough Cookie Bars Recipe
This easy no bake cookie dough cookie bars recipe makes a delicious bar cookie from homemade chocolate chip cookie dough. It’s easy to make with only 5 minutes’ work and requires no baking!
Ingredients
Units
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
2 cups flour
12 oz. chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup peanut butter, optional
Instructions
- Mix butter, sugar and vanilla.
- Add condensed milk and flour. Mix well.
- Fold in 6 oz. or half of the chocolate chips.
- Pour into an 8×8 pan. (Parchment paper on the bottom of the pan makes it easier to remove from the pan.)
- Melt the peanut butter and the remaining chocolate chips together in a pan or in the microwave.
- Pour on top of the dough.
- Chill, covered, for 3 hours or overnight.
Notes
- You can adjust the chocolate chips in this recipe and add more to the dough or when you melt them with the peanut butter.
- When chocolate chips are expensive, you can add a little less of them than normal and nobody will notice.
- If you aren’t a fan of peanut butter or can’t eat it you can just top these cookie dough bars with melted chocolate chips.
- This makes a thick cookie. For a thinner one, you could use a larger pan.
- Sometimes, recipes like this don’t make it into a pan. We chill it for a bit in the bowl and then everyone grabs a spoon and dives in.
