Creating No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
2. Mix the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
3. Add Vanilla and Salt: Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the dough into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press the mixture evenly into the dish, smoothing the top.
7. Chill the Bars: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the bars are firm.
8. Slice and Enjoy: Once chilled, remove the bars using the parchment paper. Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious treats!
