4th of July Cookie Dough Bars


Homemade Cookie Dough Bars

There are two types of people in this world – people who make chocolate chip cookies for the sole purpose of eating the cookie dough, and everyone else. Personally, I am a cookie dough kind of girl. Sometimes you just need a LARGE spoonful of fresh chocolate chip cookie dough. And that’s totally ok.

(Just make sure your flour is treated with heat before you eat raw cookie dough. See more on that HERE)

That’s why I came up with these Cookie Dough Bars. Not only are they the perfect solution for all the cookie dough lovers out there, but they also are great for any 4th of July Celebration next week!

These bars are no bake, which in my opinion is IDEAL for a summer dessert. No one wants to turn the oven on when it is already 100 degrees outside. And they are also super easy to whip up – another plus in my book. But even if you are not celebrating the 4th, you can totally customize these bars. Make the white chocolate any color you want, and then ENJOY the cookie dough amazingness!
