Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (90 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups (270 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsps milk (or heavy cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Flour Preparation: Sterilize flour by spreading on a baking sheet and roast at 350F (175C) for 5 minutes, stirring midway to ensure uniform heat distribution and eliminate potential bacteria.
- Dough Base: Cream butter and sugars in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, then blend in vanilla extract and milk until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Dough Formation: Fold in cooled, sterilized flour and salt, mixing gently to create a soft dough, then incorporate chocolate chips for even distribution of flavor.
- Chilling and Shaping: Press the prepared dough into a lined baking pan, creating an even layer, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm and stabilize the mixture.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave until completely smooth and glossy, then remove chilled dough and drizzle or fully coat with melted chocolate.
- Final Setting: Return chocolate-covered bars to the refrigerator to set completely, then slice into uniform squares and serve chilled for optimal texture and enjoyment.
Notes
- Sterilize Flour Safely: Toast flour thoroughly to eliminate harmful bacteria, preventing potential foodborne illnesses in raw cookie dough.
- Achieve Creamy Consistency: Cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth texture that blends perfectly with other ingredients.
- Prevent Overmixing: Fold ingredients gently to maintain a soft, tender dough texture without developing tough gluten strands.
- Chocolate Coating Pro Tip: Melt chocolate slowly and carefully to create a glossy, smooth finish that evenly covers the cookie dough bars.
