Cookie Dough Billionaire Bars

It’s a layer of buttery, soft shortbread.

A layer of homemade salted caramel sauce.

A layer of irresistible cookie dough (and it’s egg free, so it’s safe to eat!)

Topped with a layer of rich, decadent chocolate ganache.

Start with the shortbread layer. Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in flour and salt and mix on low until just combined

Press the dough into the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish that’s been sprayed with cooking spray and lined with parchment paper. This will make the bars a LOT easier to remove in the end

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes until edges are slightly browned. It may look puffy and jiggly in the center when you take it out, but it 

will fall and set as it cools.

Next, make the homemade, egg-free cookie dough. Beat butter and sugars on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add heavy cream and vanilla and mix well. Add flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.
Spread cookie dough on top of caramel layer using a spatula to smooth dough into an even layer. Refrigerate the dough while you prepare the chocolate ganache.

Place chocolate chips in a glass or heat-proof bowl. On the stove, heat the heavy cream and vanilla and bring to a simmer. Pour over the chocolate chips, let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk until completely smooth.

Pour the ganache over the cookie dough layer and chill until set, about 30 minutes.
