Cookie Dough Bark

There are so many ways to enjoy cookie dough that I can barely remember the last time that I baked cookies. Have fun with this bark candy and feel free to experiment with different flavors.

There’s a whole section of raw cookie dough recipes on this blog. Combine them with different melting chocolates for all kinds of flavor combo possibilities.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bark Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make this candy recipe. The exact measurements are in the recipe card below.

• Unsalted butter
• Light brown sugar
• Granulated sugar
• Vanilla extract
• Heat-treated all-purpose flour *
• Salt
• Semi sweet mini chocolate chips
• Semi sweet baker’s chocolate

Prepare a 9.5″ x 13″ baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Heat treat your flour by placing all-purpose flour into a large microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high in the microwave for two minutes. Stir well and check using a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature. You want the flour to be 175 degrees F or higher. Place the flour back into the microwave and heat again until it reaches that temperature. This process makes the flour a bit chunky, so keep stirring it well. Once you’re ready to use the flour, pour it into a strainer and sift it into a new bowl. Use a spoon to push any chunks through the strainer. Throw out any hardened pieces that remain in the strainer. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP.

Beat the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla together in a bowl.

Add in the heat-treated flour and salt and beat just until mixed. If the mixture looks too dry and crumbly, beat in an additional tablespoon of melted butter. You want the mixture to look soft and like it’s a good consistency to press into the baking sheet.

Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Press the cookie dough into the lined baking sheet. Leave about 1/3 cup for the topping.

Place the baking sheet full of cookie dough into the freezer for about 5 minutes.

Melt the chocolate by heating it in the microwave for one minute on high. Remove and stir well. Continue to heat in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted.

Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the chilled cookie dough. Immediately sprinkle the top with the leftover cookie dough.

Do this quickly because the chocolate will start to harden right away on the chilled dough. Press the topping into the chocolate so that it sticks.

Place the baking tray into the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate chill and harden.

Remove the candy from the fridge and use a sharp knife to cut the bark into pieces.

Store the candy in an airtight container for about three days. If you live in a warmer climate, keep it cool in the fridge.

* It is important to heat treat the flour to cook bacteria like E. Coli out of raw flour. This makes the cookie dough safe to eat raw.

What will I need to make this cookie dough bark?

To make this cookie dough bark, you will need the following ingredients:

• unsalted butter
• light brown sugar
• granulated sugar
• vanilla extract
• all-purpose flour
• salt
• mini semi sweet chocolate chips
• semi sweet Baker’s chocolate

To make this cookie dough bark, you will need the following supplies:

• 9.5” x 13” baking sheet
• parchment paper
• mixing bowls and spoons of various sizes
• spatula
• microwave
• kitchen / meat thermometer
• strainer
• electric mixer

Yes, this can be frozen for up to two months. Keep in mind that chocolate often gets a white film on it after being chilled for too long. It’s still safe to eat, just not as pretty!

Yes, chocolate chips can be substituted, but chocolate chips don’t melt as smoothly as Baker’s chocolate does. If using chocolate chips, add ¼ teaspoon of vegetable shortening, vegetable oil, or coconut oil to the chocolate chips before placing them in the microwave.

It sounds like the butter wasn’t melted enough when you mixed everything together. Either that or too much flour was added. If you’re just scooping 2 cups of flour and not measuring it on a food scale, you likely have more than 280 grams. Don’t worry – we can fix this! Simply add a tablespoon or two of melted butter to the mixture and that should be enough to get it to the right consistency.
