Ingredients

To make Fusion Bars Cookie Dough, you will need the following ingredients:

• Base Ingredients:
  • 225 g unsalted butter (softened)
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 75 g granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 270 g plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp salt
• Mix-ins:
  • You can add various mix-ins such as:
    • Chocolate chips (e.g., semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
    • Nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
    • Dried fruits (e.g., cranberries or raisins)
    • Other types of chocolate chips (e.g., white chocolate or butterscotch)
• Toppings:
  • Additional chocolate chips for topping
  • A sprinkle of sea salt for added flavor

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (or 350°F) and prepare an appropriate baking pan, such as an 8×10” or 9×9” tin, by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until just combined.
5. Incorporate Mix-ins: Gently fold in your chosen mix-ins (such as chocolate chips) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Spread in Pan: Pour the cookie dough into your prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly to cover the bottom. Press additional chocolate chips into the top if desired.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while still having a slight wobble in the center.
8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares for serving. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate them for a couple of hours before slicing.

Storage Tips

These Fusion Bars Cookie Dough can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to five days or refrigerated for longer freshness. They are best enjoyed fresh but can also be reheated slightly for that gooey texture if desired.
