Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) almond flour or all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) brown sugar
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) milk or almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Components:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) melted chocolate (for topping)
Instructions
- Cream together softened butter and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer at medium speed.
- Incorporate milk, vanilla extract, and salt into the butter mixture, blending until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually introduce almond flour to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully until a cohesive cookie dough texture develops.
- Gently fold mini chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the prepared dough into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking dish, using a spatula to create an uniform layer with consistent thickness.
- Optional: Drizzle melted chocolate across the surface, spreading carefully with an offset spatula for complete coverage.
- Chill the prepared bars in the refrigerator for approximately 60-90 minutes, or until the dough becomes completely firm and set.
- Remove from refrigerator, lift out of the pan using parchment edges, and slice into rectangular servings.
- Serve chilled and store remaining bars in an airtight container within the refrigerator for optimal texture and freshness.
Notes
- Swap almond flour for gluten-free oat flour to accommodate different dietary needs and create a more accessible treat.
- Always use room temperature butter for smoother, more even mixing and a better texture in the cookie dough bars.
- Chill the bars thoroughly to ensure a firm, slice-able consistency that holds its shape when cut.
- Experiment with different chocolate chip varieties like dark, milk, or white chocolate to customize flavor profiles and keep the recipe exciting.
