Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 grams) brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (90 grams) mini chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups (270 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Seasoning Ingredients:

  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

Instructions

  1. Toast the flour in the oven at 350F (175C) for 5 minutes or microwave, stirring midway through cooking time to ensure even heat distribution and eliminate potential bacteria.
  2. Allow the flour to cool to room temperature, creating a safe base for the raw cookie dough preparation.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, creating a smooth foundational texture for the cookie dough.
  4. Incorporate vanilla extract and milk, blending until the mixture becomes uniform and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in the cooled, sterilized flour and salt, mixing until a soft dough forms without overmixing.
  6. Add chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough for consistent flavor in each bite.
  7. Press the prepared dough into a lined baking pan, creating an even layer with smooth edges.
  8. Refrigerate the dough layer for approximately 30 minutes to firm up and stabilize the mixture.
  9. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  10. Remove chilled dough from refrigerator and drizzle or fully coat with melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
  11. Return the chocolate-covered bars to the refrigerator to set the chocolate and achieve a firm, sliceable consistency.
  12. Once fully chilled, cut into uniform squares and serve directly from the refrigerator for optimal texture.

Notes

  • Heat-treat flour to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring food safety with a simple baking sheet or microwave method.
  • Chill the cookie dough bars thoroughly before dipping in chocolate for a cleaner, more professional coating that sets quickly.
  • Use parchment paper when preparing the pan to make removing and cutting the bars easier and prevent sticking.
  • Opt for high-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa content for a rich, decadent dipping that elevates the entire dessert.
