Best Ever Chocolate Chunk Cookie Butter Bars Recipe

by

 Best Ever Chocolate Chunk Cookie Butter Bars Recipe – Cookie Butter Bars are infused with cookie butter and plenty of cookie pieces & chocolate chunks. Don’t attempt to make them if you can’t handle a whole lot of cookie goodness in bar form. You won’t be able to stop at just one.


There are a couple of traditional things we eat and go see every year, but I’m always excited to try their new creations as well. I already printed off the list of new items… dessert salami, anyone?

Yep, the State Fair is my guilty pleasure. Speaking of which, I might as well let you in on another guilty pleasure of mine – Cookie Butter.

I mean, cookies in butter form?! Can you blame me?

I adore every single thing about it. But the smell is one of my absolute faves. I wish they made that scent in candle form. Or maybe they already do? I wouldn’t be surprised if it already exists – fill me in if it does!

But just in case there’s no candle in sight, these bars will do the same. Make your house smell beyond amazing.

And they will captivate the rest of your senses too. Cookie Butter infused bars with chunks of chocolate and Biscoff cookies. You better believe they will tickle your taste buds. I still can’t believe it took me this long to incorporate Cookie Butter as a main ingredient.

See the pieces of Biscoff cookies peeking through? I am all about texture and these bars definitely deliver. They’re a tad bit gooey inside, pack a slight crunch due to the cookie pieces and the chocolate chunks pull it all together, of course.

My cookie obsession has come to new heights with Chocolate Chunk Cookie Butter Bars. Every cookie lover needs this recipe in their repertoire.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup cookie butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
  • 5 Biscoff cookies, broken into pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-x-8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray or line with aluminum foil and spray (it makes it easier to lift the bars out of the pan and cut into individual squares).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add vanilla extract and egg and mix until combined. Incorporate cookie butter until smooth and creamy. Add salt and flour and mix until fully combined. Fold in chocolate chunks and broken cookie pieces.
  3. Press batter into the prepared pan. Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until edges are slightly brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Bars will keep up to 5 days stored in an airtight container or up to 4 weeks stored in the freezer.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies Recipe

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies Recipe – Hands down the best Blondies you can make at home. Chock-full with Chocolate Chips, Pretzels and a very generous drizzle of Salted Caramel.


Chocolate Chip Salted Caramel Pretzel Blondies are the happiest accidental creation to have come out of my oven over the past few weeks.

The main reason why I adore this recipe so much is that they bake up beautifully every time. They’re slightly browned and crisp on the outside, but the best part, the inside, stays so moist, gooey and chewy. The similarity to brownies is undeniable.

Brownies are my absolute favorite bars. All things chocolate really are my favorite. Adam, on the other hand, prefers anything that doesn’t involve chocolate or contains small amounts. So just in case you are that someone or live with anther person who doesn’t love chocolate quite as much, these blondies are the best compromise. Not as rich and fudgy as brownies, but every bit as satisfying.

The batter for these blondies holds a healthy amount of chocolate chips and broken pretzel pieces. Giving the blondies great texture and that sweet & salty thing so many of us love. The caramel drizzle at the end totally sets each and every yummy square over the top.
