To Die For Nuggets!!!

Ran across a recipe for these cookies on Facebook and had to make them for my upcoming family Christmas party.  We are all a lover of chocolate chip cookie dough; these little nuggets are Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars - no eggs, no baking, and they turned out wonderful.  I whipped them up last night then sliced into bars this morning and popped into the back freezer so they are ready for the party.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

Ingredients
•½ c. unsalted butter, softened
•¾ c. packed light brown sugar
•1 tsp. vanilla extract
•2 c. all purpose flour
•1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
•2 c. mini chocolate chips
•½ cup creamy peanut butter
•½ cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
1.Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
2.In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter and brown sugar until it is fluffy. This takes about 3 minutes. Add vanilla and bet until combined.
3.Turn the mixer to low and alternate the flour and the sweetened condensed milk until combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips.
4.Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the 8×8 pan. It will be sticky so lightly flour your hands if needed.
5.Cover your bars with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight until firm.
6.To make the topping, combine the peanut butter and ½ cup chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Stir every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour and spread over the top of the chilled dough and chill at least for 1 hour until firm.

  1. Leesh - wanted to let you know that these were the preferred treats at the party. How do I know this? Erin left her goodie bags down in the guest room. Allegra "shopped" through all the goodie bags and only at ALL of these cookies. hahahaha (For those that don't know, Allegra is our house dog)
