Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough Layer
- 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Topping
- 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Extra chocolate chips for garnish
Instructions
Before making edible cookie dough, heat-treat the flour to make it safe to eat. Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or microwave it in short intervals until it reaches 165°F. Let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until creamy and fluffy. This creates the rich and smooth cookie dough texture.
Mix in the vanilla extract and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until the mixture becomes silky smooth and fully combined.
Gradually add the cooled flour and salt. Mix until a thick dough forms. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Press the cookie dough mixture evenly into the pan using a spatula or clean hands.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for decoration.
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until firm. Slice into bars and serve chilled.
Notes
Because this dessert is no-bake, chilling time is extremely important. Refrigerating helps the bars firm up properly so they slice cleanly. For extra neat slices, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wiped dry before cutting.
