TIPS for easy chocolate chip cookie dough bars:
- Use semisweet chocolate chips for the dough and coating. It's healthier and tastes the best too.
- Don't melt the coconut oil or else the cookie dough will become too soft and hard to manage.
- Make sure to buy pure honey. Some of the stuff in the market these days is fake.
- Chocolate molds (like the one I used today) are cheap and available on Amazon.
- If you don't have a chocolate mold, you can roll the dough into little balls and chill them. Then, dip them in melted chocolate and let it set and you can enjoy cookie dough balls/cookie dough truffles.
- You can also spread the dough in a rectangular cake pan, chill in the fridge for an hour and then top it off with melted chocolate. Once the chocolate sets, cut squares and enjoy!
- You can simply eat this chocolate chip cookie dough by the spoon, if you like.
- You can also modify the recipe a bit and make vegan chocolate chip cookie dough bars=> Omit collagen peptides and use an alternative sweetener such as agave, stevia or maple syrup.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I added Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides in this dough because it gives it a boost of nutrition without even changing the texture or flavor of your recipe.
They also come in small individual packets now, making it so CONVENIENT to carry it around with you on road trips.
I have been raving about this product for months and it's seriously AMAZING for the health of your skin, bones, hair, nails.

These look so good! Can you tell us where you got the molds? Thanks!
Abeer Rizvi
You can order them online from Amazon or candy supply stores. These ones are actually from my son's toy "chocolate bar maker" set. It was a gift and he loves it! The box came with a few molds and this was one of them.

Are the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides necessary or required for the product to turn out? Or are they there just for the nutritional gain? Of required, where can you buy them. Haven't ever heard of them.
Abeer Rizvi
They are optional. I add them to give these bars an additional boost of nutrition. You can buy them from Amazon or Vital Proteins Site (I have a link in my blog post that you can check out). Hope this helps.

Can these be made with regular flour?
Abeer Rizvi
I don't see any reason why you can't. Some people don't want to eat raw flour, which is why I used this other flour.
