Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars with Hot Fudge
Safe-to-eat raw cookie dough that's every bit as good and satisfying as the real thing! Easy, no-bake, and no eggs required!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened, or vegan butter (like Earth Balance
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- pinch salt optional and to taste
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips reserve 2 tablespoons, or chunks
- 10- homemade hot fudge optional for drizzling (vegan hot fudge, chocolate syrup, Salted Caramel Sauce, Minute
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the flour out on a large baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes. Do NOT skip this step — baking the flour kills any lingering bacteria and makes the raw cookie dough safe to eat. Let the flour cool before continuing with the recipe.
- Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together (or beat with an electric mixer) butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until soft and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and optional salt.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips, reserving about 2 tablespoons chocolate chips to push into dough once in pan for a nice visual effect.
- Turn dough out into prepared pan, pressing it down firmly with a spatula.
- Evenly press in reserved chocolate chips.
- Place pan in refrigerator or freezer for at least 2 hours to set up, or overnight. Bars slice easily from the freezer, but allow to come to room temp for about 10 minutes if it’s easier.
- Optionally, drizzle with hot fudge or your favorite topping. Bars will keep airtight in the refrigerator for at least 3 weeks and in the freezer for up to 4 months.
Notes
- Chocolate chips: I used 1 cup chips, 1/2 cup chunks; peanut butter/butterscotch/white chocolate chips may be substituted.
