Time 1h

Yield 25 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cooking spray
2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, diced
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup dulce de leche
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 large egg yolks
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-square baking dish with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides; coat the foil with cooking spray. Pulse 2 cups flour, the butter, confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and the salt in a food processor until the mixture starts clumping together, about 1 minute. Press firmly and evenly in the bottom and 1/4 inch up the sides of the prepared pan. Bake until firm and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the dulce de leche, heavy cream, egg yolks and the remaining 1 tablespoon flour and 2 teaspoons vanilla in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Pour the mixture over the crust and sprinkle with the chocolate chips and pecans. Return to the oven and bake until set around the edge but slightly jiggly in the center, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Transfer to the rack and let cool completely. Lift out of the pan using the overhanging foil. Remove the foil and cut into pieces.

These cookie bars are a great way to use up leftover dulce de leche. I always have a jar of it in my fridge and I'm always looking for new ways to use it.

I had a hard time finding dulce de leche at my local grocery store. I ended up making my own, which was actually pretty easy.

These cookie bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of dulce de leche, but I still enjoyed these cookie bars. The chocolate chip cookie crust is really good and the dulce de leche adds a nice sweetness.

These cookie bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them the night before and they were even better the next day.

These cookie bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The dulce de leche adds a rich, caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with the chocolate chip cookie crust.
