Make these fun and festive cookie bars during the holiday season. Serve them at parties, gatherings or give them as gifts wrapped in cellophane bags.
Cookie Base:
1 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 t. kosher salt
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 c. dark chocolate unsweetened cocoa powder
15 Candy Cane Oreos, crushed
1 1/2 c. red and green chocolate chip morsels (or semi-sweet)
Topping:
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 T. unsalted butter
12 oz. Green & Black's White Chocolate bars (4 oz. each bar)**
12 peppermint candy canes, crushed
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
Beat butter and both sugars until creamy, using a mixer. Add in salt, eggs and vanilla. Slowly add flour, baking soda and cocoa until combined completely. Fold in crushed Oreos and chocolate morsels - batter will be thick.
Press into the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15- 20 minutes, until soft in center and cooked on outside, adjusting time according to your oven. Remove from oven, letting it set while cooling.
While baking, heat condensed milk and butter in a small saucepan on medium heat. Stirring constantly with a whisk, add white chocolate to warm milk mixture. Remove from heat; stir until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour over baked cookie bars; immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
Allow to set for about 30 minutes. Cut and serve.
**Green & Black's white chocolate bars are the best and simply amazing because they melt smoothly.
