Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Chocolate Bark
- 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smooth melting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fluffy. Mix in milk, then gradually stir in heat-treated flour until fully combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips and set the dough aside.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) until smooth and fluid.
- First Chocolate Layer: Pour half of the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set firmly.
- Add Cookie Dough Layer: Once the chocolate layer is firm, gently press small pieces of the prepared cookie dough evenly over the hardened chocolate layer.
- Top Chocolate Layer: Pour and spread the remaining melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer, ensuring full coverage to seal the cookie dough.
- Final Chilling: Refrigerate the entire bark until fully set, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Once set, break into 16 pieces and serve.
Notes
- Heat-treat the flour by microwaving for 1 minute or baking at 350°F for 5 minutes to make it safe for raw consumption.
- You may substitute white or dark chocolate for different flavor variations.
- Add sprinkles over the top chocolate layer for a colorful, festive twist.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
