They\u2019re basically a giant chocolate chip cookie but in bar form. I think this is my new favourite way to eat cookies. Plus there\u2019s no chilling time or faffing around trying to make perfect balls\u2026 just make the dough, chuck it in the tin and bake. Easy as pie (or cookie dough bars).<\/p>\n<h3>You guys always seem to love cookie dough related bakes. I just can\u2019t believe I haven\u2019t made these sooner!<\/h3>\n<p>As we speak they\u2019re currently my most viewed video on TikTok, racking up 6.4 MILLION VIEWS! I\u2019m still in shock. Apparently, you guys love cookie dough bars and honestly, I\u2019m totally with you on that.<\/p>\n<p>I used an 8\u00d710\u2033 tin for these bars, but you could easily use a 9\u00d79\u2033 tin or bigger. I just wouldn\u2019t go any smaller, as the dough will struggle to cook evenly and you\u2019ll be left with cakey edges and an undercooked middle\u2026 and no one wants that!<\/p>\n<h3>These bars can be stored at room temperate or in the fridge.<\/h3>\n<p>I personally like to eat them straight from the fridge and cut off little chunks whenever I fancy a bite, but they\u2019re also amazing warmed up and served with a scoop of ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a clean-cut like in the photo, I would recommend leaving them to cool fully in the tin, or even refrigerate for a couple of hours. If you\u2019re really in a hurry to eat them (I understand the struggle) you can cut them whilst still slightly warm. Just be aware they will be very gooey and very chocolatey as the chocolate chips will still be melted and they will not be fully set.<\/p>\n<h3>If you want to make these bars into cookies you\u2019ll need to add an extra 50g of flour so you can roll them into balls and so they don\u2019t spread too much.<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a specific type of cookie, I would recommend using one of my other recipes, like my Chocolate Chip NYC Cookies.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you love these cookie dough bars as much as I did.<\/p>\n<p>Have fun and enjoy.<br \/>\nEloise x<\/p>\n<h3>Ingredients<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span>225<\/span> <span>g<\/span> <span>unsalted butter<\/span> <span>softened<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>150<\/span> <span>g<\/span> <span>light brown sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>75<\/span> <span>g<\/span> <span>granulated sugar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>2<\/span> <span>large eggs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>1<\/span> <span>tsp<\/span> <span>vanilla extract<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>270<\/span> <span>g<\/span> <span>plain flour<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>1<\/span> <span>tsp<\/span> <span>bicarbonate of soda<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>1<\/span> <span>tsp<\/span> <span>salt<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>350<\/span> <span>g<\/span> <span>semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>50<\/span> <span>g<\/span> <span>semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/span> <span>for topping<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Sprinkle of sea salt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div><span>Heat the oven to 180C\/160C (fan) and line an 8&#215;10&#8243; baking tray with parchment paper<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and both sugars with an electric hand whisk or stand mixer until light and fluffy<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until combined<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Fold in the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Pour in the chocolate chips and fold through the mix until evenly distributed<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Scoop the mix into your prepared tin and spread it out evenly to the edges<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Press the rest of the chocolate chips into the top of your cookie dough<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges and top of the cookie are golden, with a slight wobble in the middle <\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div><span>Whilst still warm, sprinkle the sea salt on the top.

Your cookie bars will continue to bake in the tin once removed from the oven. The top should look crisp and golden with a slight wobble in the middle. If the whole tray wobbles, continue to bake in 5-minute intervals until they&#8217;re done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><span><span>Calories: <\/span><span>370<\/span><span>kcal<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Carbohydrates: <\/span><span>40<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Protein: <\/span><span>4<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Fat: <\/span><span>22<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Saturated Fat: <\/span><span>13<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Trans Fat: <\/span><span>1<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Cholesterol: <\/span><span>52<\/span><span>mg<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Sodium: <\/span><span>229<\/span><span>mg<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Potassium: <\/span><span>184<\/span><span>mg<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Fiber: <\/span><span>2<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Sugar: <\/span><span>23<\/span><span>g<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Vitamin A: <\/span><span>394<\/span><span>IU<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Calcium: <\/span><span>32<\/span><span>mg<\/span><\/span><span> | <\/span><span><span>Iron: <\/span><span>3<\/span><span>mg<\/span><\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super soft and gooey chocolate chip cookie dough bars with a sprinkle of sea salt.
