Another post from our favourite guest poster, Hollie! This week she has made cookie bars and they are AWESOME. If you have baked something yummy and want to share your creation, just email your recipe and 1-3 photos to rubyandhelen@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you!

Who doesn’t love cookie dough? Well this recipe is a double whammy! It’s inspired by the Domestic Rebel’s Recipe, which you can find here. I’ve added a few of my own variants with toppings and converted measurements.

For the cookie base:

9 tablespoons of soft butter

33g light brown soft sugar

100g granulated sugar

1 medium egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

200g plain flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

100g of any kind of chocolate chips you fancy

For the topping:

9 tablespoons of soft butter

1 tsp vanilla extract

50g brown sugar

About 100g icing sugar

60 g of chocolate chips

peanut butter

1)Preheat the oven to 170 C and grease a small sized rectangular/square tin

2)Cream the butter and sugars. Then add the egg and vanilla extract till it is all combined well. Then add the flour, salt and baking powder. you should have a nice cookie dough going on.

3)Then add loads of chocolate chips!! Or perhaps there might be something else you fancy instead like nuts or fruit…

4)Pop the mixture into the tin – spread out as evenly as possible. Then put in the oven for 25 minutes, when it should be just the right golden brown.

5)When they are out the oven, leave to cool in the tin. Then when they are ready, put on the topping.

6)I spread peanut butter on half and then cookie dough on the other half (To make the cookie dough cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract, then slowly add the icing sugar and finish with the chocolate chips). A variant would be to put the peanut butter on as a first layer and then smooth the cookie dough topping on top of this.

Enjoy!!
