Ingredients Needed
- Two 12-ounce bags semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- One 16.5-ounce package edible chocolate chip cookie dough
- One 16.5-ounce package edible peanut butter cookie dough
- 1/2 cup sprinkles
How To Make Cookie Dough Bars Recipe
- Prep the Baking Sheet: Line a quarter-sized baking sheet with foil or wax paper and place it in the freezer for 7 to 10 minutes.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add half of the chocolate chips and half of the coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, and return to the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until smooth. (Alternatively, melt them in a bowl over a pan of simmering water for 7 to 10 minutes.)
- Spread the First Layer of Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture onto the chilled baking sheet, spreading it into a thin layer. Place back in the freezer for about 5 minutes to set.
- Melt the Second Batch of Chocolate: Repeat the melting process with the remaining chocolate chips and coconut oil, then set aside.
- Add the Cookie Dough Layers: Place the chocolate chip cookie dough on one half of the baking sheet. Use a spatula or clean hands to press it into an even layer. Repeat with the peanut butter cookie dough on the other side of the baking sheet.
- Top with Second Chocolate Layer: Pour the second batch of melted chocolate over the cookie dough layers, spreading it evenly. Immediately top with sprinkles.
- Freeze and Set: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let the bars set for about 45 minutes until completely firm.
- Slice and Serve: Lift the slab out using the foil or wax paper, then slice into 24 squares. Serve chilled.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The bars are best served chilled.
Recipe Tips
- Use Chilled Cookie Dough: Make sure the edible cookie dough is cold when pressing it into the baking sheet. This will help it set better and prevent it from becoming too soft when layered with chocolate.
- Allow the First Chocolate Layer to Fully Set: Don’t rush the freezing process. Let the first layer of melted chocolate set for at least 5 minutes before adding the cookie dough. This will ensure the layers stay separate and don’t mix.
- Avoid Overheating the Chocolate: Be careful when melting the chocolate. Heat it in short intervals, stirring in between, to prevent it from burning and becoming grainy.
- Freeze the Bars Completely: Be sure to freeze the bars for at least 45 minutes before cutting. This makes slicing the bars into clean squares much easier.
- Use Fresh Sprinkles: Add sprinkles right after pouring the final chocolate layer. Fresh sprinkles will stick better to the chocolate, giving your bars a more vibrant look.
How To Store Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers cookie dough bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Wrap leftovers cookie dough bars tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving.
