Ingredients
Basic Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 1/2 /2 cups brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 /2 cups flour (how to heat treat flour in notes)
- 3/4 /4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons milk
Cookie Bars Add-ins:
- 1 egg
- 1/4 /4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Frosting Add-ins:
- 2-4 Tablespoons milk
- 3/4 /4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a stand mixer, cream the butter, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add the flour and salt and mix to combine. Add about 2 Tablespoons milk. You want to add just enough so that the dough comes together. Beat well.
- Take 1 1/2 cups of the batter and set aside in a medium bowl for the frosting later.
- For the Cookie Bars: With the remaining dough, add the egg and baking soda and mix until combined thoroughly. Stir in the chocolate chips gently.
- Spoon batter into the prepared pan and bake for 18-20 minutes or until top begins to brown. Remove and cool completely.
- For the frosting: While the bars are baking finish making the frosting. The batter is stiff at this point so you want to add milk until your desired consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and add until you like it. I stir in the milk by hand in a bowl but if you wanted to use a mixer you could. Once it's to the consistency that you like, fold in the mini chocolate chips. Keep frosting at room temperature until bars are done cooling.
- Frost cooled bars. If you like the frosting thick like I do you may have to work to gently disperse it on the bars. Cut into squares and enjoy.
- Spread
Notes
- Source: I blended this and this recipe to make this one.
- There are two ways to do this:
- Place the flour in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second intervals stirring in between. Make sure there are no hot spots that will burn. Do this until flour reaches 165 degrees F.
- Spread flour into an even layer on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees F in two minute intervals stirring in between until flour reaches 165 degrees F.
