How to Make Cookie Dough Bark: Step-by-Step Instructions

Okay, here comes the fun part! This Cookie Dough Bark is seriously so easy to make, you’ll be snacking on it in no time. Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll be golden!

Preparing the Cookie Dough Bark Mixture

First things first, grab a bowl! In it, you’ll want to mix together that almond flour, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Get it all nice and combined until it forms a smooth-ish dough. Don’t worry if it’s a little sticky – that’s totally normal!

Adding Chocolate Chips and Salt to Cookie Dough Bark

Now for the good stuff! Toss in those dark chocolate chips and that pinch of sea salt. Stir them in until they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough. This is where you can sneak a little taste test… I won’t judge! 😉

Freezing Your Cookie Dough Bark

Grab a sheet of parchment paper and lay it out on a baking sheet. Then, plop your cookie dough mixture onto the parchment paper and spread it out into an even layer. I like to use a spatula for this, but you can use your hands too (just make sure they’re clean!). Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness. Pop it in the freezer for about an hour, or until it’s nice and firm.

Breaking Apart the Cookie Dough Bark

Once your Cookie Dough Bark is frozen solid, take it out of the freezer. Now, the super satisfying part – break it into pieces! You can make them as big or as small as you like. And that’s it! Seriously, you’re done! Now, go grab a piece (or three!) and enjoy!

Don’t over-freeze it! You still want it to be easy to break apart, not rock solid.

Common Questions About Cookie Dough Bark

Got questions about this amazing Cookie Dough Bark? I got you! Here are some of the most common things people ask (and some things you might be wondering yourself!).

Can I use a different flour for this Cookie Dough Bark?

Okay, so almond flour is my go-to, but if you don’t have it, you *could* try using oat flour. Just be aware that it might change the texture a little. Start with a little less oat flour and add more until you get the right consistency. I haven’t tried it with regular flour, so I can’t vouch for that, but almond flour really is the best for this no-bake cookie dough bark!

How long does Cookie Dough Bark last in the freezer?

Okay, technically, it’ll last for a couple of months in the freezer. But let’s be real, it’s probably not gonna last that long! 😉 If stored properly in an airtight container, it should stay fresh and delicious for at least a few weeks. But seriously, good luck keeping it around that long!

Is this Cookie Dough Bark recipe vegan?

Almost! The recipe itself is vegan-friendly, but you need to make sure your chocolate chips are vegan. Lots of dark chocolate chips are, but always double-check the label! If you use vegan chocolate chips, then you’ve got yourself a totally delicious and totally vegan cookie dough bark!
