Cookie Dough Options

I found you can do this cookie dough several ways for this recipe.  To save time, you can buy the prepared cookie dough straight from your local grocery store and use that, like Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough or you can make your own cookie dough, like I did in the recipe using a gluten free cookie dough recipe! 

You can also use my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe if you don’t want to make the gluten-free version.

I made this dessert cookie dessert a healthier version.  I used coconut flour to make this gluten-free, but you can use all purpose flour, or whatever gluten-free flour blend you are familiar with.  

More coconut flour recipes include these GF Healthy Birthday Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars – Vegan Options too! and these“Purely Amazing” GF Ultra Chocolate Brownies.

Here’s Some Great Tips When Baking Gluten Free

Here’s my Tips for this Chocolate Chip Cookie Lasagna Dessert: I add just a little less flour if I’m using strictly oat, coconut or almond flour instead of purpose flour, whole wheat or a gluten free flour blend.

I use less sugar and a little more liquid for moisture.  Those heavier, textured flours can tend to dry out baked goods if the ratios are off.  And, when it comes to cookies and bars, it always better to not over-bake.

If you’re using all purpose flour, you could also use my Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for the chocolate chip cookie base and cookie crumbles, or you can incorporate all-purpose flour right in as shown below in this dessert cookie recipe.
