The Best Gluten Free Vegan Cookie Dough Bars.
Intro
I love biscuits, or cookies as some like to call them, but I can’t help but absolutely love cookie dough more. So, when creating this recipe I was thinking about a way to make a great cookie dough recipe whilst still making it gluten free and vegan. And thus, this delicious recipe was born.

Tips and Tricks
The coconut oil is the base of this dish that provides that cookie dough, almost fudgy texture. It is necessary to have the coconut oil in its solid form, not its liquid form, to make the beautiful batter that will then blossom and become these delicious gluten free vegan cookie dough bars.
If you want nice and clean lines for your cookie dough bars, you must make sure to wait until they are, at least, room temperature so that you can have nice clean lines and perfect rectangles for your cookie dough bars. If you give into the temptation and cut them right after coming out of the oven, that will result in a bit of a mess, and no even cookie dough bars for you.
After you have allowed the cookie dough bars to cool to room temperature, if you want, you can stick them in the fridge and allow them to properly set to have delicious cookie dough bars in the end that are nice and firm. If you don’t put them in the fridge, they will still taste great, but they won’t have as much structural integrity. However, I know that is a lot to ask, as once some delicious treat is baked and out of the oven, at least for me, all I want to do is eat it!
This tips and tricks section is really just about encouraging you Gluten Free VIPs to not be afraid to make this recipe your own and tailored to you and your tastes! Feel free to be fun and adventurous with your cooking! Enjoy!😊😊
To Salt Or Not To Salt…
When it comes to salting the The Best Gluten Free Vegan Cookie Dough Bars, I personally believe it is a little unnecessary. However, I know a lot of people love that sweet and salty combo, and so if you are one of those people that can’t live without that little sprinkle of salt, I won’t stand in your way. If you do add salt, make sure to only add a sprinkle on top of the cookie dough bars before they go in the oven. Remember that a little will go along way.
When it comes to salting recipes, from dinners to desserts, you must remember the golden rule – you can always add more salt but can’t take it away once it is on. Salt wisely, and happy eating!😉❤️
