These bars are loaded with mini chocolate chips in an edible cookie dough and we even topped them off with even more chocolate. We even spruced them up with some sprinkles to give them a fun, festive flair, because honestly, who doesn't love sprinkles and cookie dough together? They're the perfect no bake treat and so simple to make as well!
For those who love cookie dough before you actually bake them, this recipe is for you! We're all guilty of eating the cookie dough every time we make a batch of cookies, because it's way to hard to resist that cookie dough!! Well, luckily for us, we have these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars that you can make when the urge strikes and the whole family will go crazy over them!
In this no bake cookie dough recipe, we substituted the eggs with sweetened condensed milk and heat treated our flour, making them totally safe to eat. Hooray!
How to make Yummy Cookie Dough Bars!
- First start by treating your flour. Spread the flour on a large plate or baking dish to fit in your microwave. Microwave for about 1 minute, adding additional 15 second increments as needed, until the flour reaches a temperature of 160 F. OR, heat treat the flour by spreading it out on a baking sheet and baking it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Line a square 8inch pan with parchment paper or foil.
- Using a mixer, cream the butter and brown sugar together for a couple minutes until it is light and fluffy for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- Alternate adding the flour, and sweetened condensed milk, mixing on low, until everything is completely combined.
- Stir in the salt and mini chocolate chips or whatever add-ins you want. We went for some sprinkles with the chocolate chips!
- Press the dough into the prepared pan in an even layer.
- Place it in the fridge to chill for about 1-2 hours.
Chocolate Layer:
-
Add the chocolate chips and butter to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until mixture is smooth by stirring at each increment.
-
Spread the chocolate evenly over the cookie dough.
-
Add more sprinkles for fun!
-
Place the bars in the fridge for another hour, up to overnight.
Carefully slice into bars and keep bars refrigerated until ready to serve.

This is the dessert of my dreams! That super thick layer of chocolate chip cookie dough with even more chocolate on top (and sprinkles!) would satisfy my sweet cravings for a month, so delicious!
Haha answering your rhetorical question, I'm not really a fan of sprinkles (Yes these weird people do exist!) But I think it's all about the textures. While I normally won't consider a cookie or donut with sprinkles, I think cookie dough and sprinkles make sense together. Needless to say, this looks super fun!
