Tips & Tricks for Making Salted caramel chocolate bar
- Coat your fingers in flour: Before pressing the chocolate chip cookie dough into the baking dish, coat your fingers in flour. This will prevent the dough from sticking to your hands and make it easier to spread evenly.
- Use flaky salt for sprinkling: When adding salt to the top of the bars, use a flaky and coarse salt like sea salt or kosher salt. Avoid using table salt, as it won’t provide the same texture and flavor contrast.
- Serve with ice cream or whipped cream: For a delightful treat, serve these cookie bars with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. The combination of warm cookie bars and ice cream is irresistible!
These simple tips will enhance the texture and flavor of your Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars and make them even more enjoyable to serve and eat.
