The Cookie Bar Recipe That Will Change Your Life

Bump

I have been meaning to try this since I saw it on CCK's site- great to hear that they worked well for you. I might try using agave, which she uses for the cookie dough dip that is "related" to the blondies:

going to try this weekend

I will need to try these. I liked her chocolate chip cookie dough dip and 3-ingredient chocolate bars. The bars are really, really good. Ingredients are coconut oil, agave and unsweetened cocoa powder.

bump-thx

Here's a snapshot. I just finished eating 7 of the 9 of them.

I subbed the PB for: 4 Tbsp PB2 and 4 Tbsp Unsweetened Applesauce
I subbed 12 Tbsp Granulated Splenda instead of all brown sugar. 4 /12 to make the full cup the recipe called for
I reduced Chocolate Chips by half
I added 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

My thoughts: Yep, it tastes like sweetened garbanzo beans. They weren't bad but nothing to write home about. The recipe could use additional leavening (more baking powder and likely some egg white - which will also add some protein) and I feel it is versatile enough to withstand a scoop of protein - again upping the protein content. To compensate, I would add a small amount of liquid...anything will work, water, milk, almond milk, sweetened condensed milk - lol; to keep the ratio of wet to dry the same.

Can't wait to try these...thanks!

bump for later! sounds awesome. i've heard that using chickpeas and other kind of light-tasting beans can be substituted in cookie recipes, but I haven't tried it yet!

They look fantastic! Am going to give them a go! (and ... great idea re: altering them more to make breakfast bars - sounds like a winner!)

:drinker:

bumpity!

I'm game to try it! Thanks for posting!
