I Want to Marry You Cookie Dough Bars
Description
I Want to Marry You Cookie Dough Bars create a thick, chewy bar from a dough mixture of butter, brown sugar, oats, vanilla, cinnamon, heat-treated flour, and sweetened condensed milk. The addition of white chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, peanut butter chips, and chopped pecans gives a varied texture and complex chocolate and nutty flavors throughout. After chilling, the bars are topped with melted dark chocolate that hardens to form a glossy, rich finish.
The finished bars have a firm but tender crumb, sweet and buttery with bursts of creamy and slightly salty chocolate chips alongside the crunchy pecans. Chilling the dough before topping helps the bars hold their shape when cut, providing a satisfying bite without crumbling. The contrast of the smooth dark chocolate layer accentuates the mix of chips beneath.
This dessert works well served chilled or at room temperature and is suitable for sharing at gatherings or casual treats. Its sturdy profile makes it easy to pack for lunchboxes or picnics. The complexity of chip types within the dough offers variety in texture and taste to enjoy slowly.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter unsalted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 2 cups heat treated flour You can find heat treated flour here, or oat flour or fine almond flour, for safety
- 1 sweetened condensed milk can
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
frosting
- 12 ounces dark chocolate or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Cream the butter with the brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the oats, vanilla and cinnamon.
- Add the oat flour and the condensed milk alternately with each other, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Don't drain the can of condensed milk to the last drop, you may not need quite all of it.
- Fold in the chips and the nuts until well combined.
- Spread the thick dough into a 9x9 square baking pan that had been lightly sprayed. I line mine with parchment with long ends so I can lift it out after it's chilled for easy cutting. Spread the dough flat and even
- Chill until firm, about 3 hours.
- To make the topping put the chocolate chips in a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup or other microwave safe bowl. (If using bar chocolate, chop it finely first.) Microwave for 1 minute, and then stir until completely melted and smooth. Zap for another 10-15 seconds if necessary. Let cool slightly.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the dough and spread out evenly. Put back in the fridge until firm, about an hour.
- Slice the dough into small squares with a sharp knife. I let the pan sit out for a few minutes so the chocolate topping has a chance to soften a bit. Keep chilled.
