Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- ¾ cup (135 g) mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup (200 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seasoning and Additional Ingredients:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
Instructions
- Fortify the Flour Fortress:
Transform raw flour into an edible safe zone by dispersing it across a baking sheet. Roast at 350F (175C) for 5-7 minutes, ensuring internal temperature reaches 165F (74C). Allow complete cooling before proceeding.
- Craft the Creamy Dough Foundation:
Whip softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until achieving a cloud-like texture. Incorporate milk and vanilla, blending until harmonious. Gradually introduce heat-treated flour and salt, mixing thoroughly. Gently fold mini chocolate chips throughout the mixture.
- Construct the Dough Canvas:
Drape a parchment paper blanket inside an 8×8-inch baking vessel. Firmly press cookie dough into an even, smooth landscape. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes to solidify the base.
- Unleash Chocolate Cascade:
Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips with coconut oil in microwave-safe container. Utilize 30-second intervals, stirring between each cycle until achieving silky consistency. Pour molten chocolate across chilled dough, creating uniform coverage.
- Set and Slice:
Return the creation to refrigerator, allowing 1-2 hours for complete chocolate solidification. Wield a razor-sharp knife to segment into precise bars or squares.
- Preserve and Present:
Serve directly from refrigeration or allow gentle warming to room temperature. Safeguard remaining delicacies in sealed container within refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Heat-treat flour to eliminate potential bacterial risks, ensuring a safe and delicious no-bake dessert experience.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better integration of cookie dough components.
- Consider swapping chocolate chips with alternative mix-ins like dried fruit, nuts, or sprinkles for personalized flavor variations.
- Opt for gluten-free flour and dairy-free chocolate to create an inclusive treat suitable for different dietary needs.
