I spent all day Sunday in the kitchen baking and cooking. I had 2 crockpots going, 5 different kinds of cookies and these chocolate peppermint bars made with Pillsbury Gluten Free Cookie Dough.
New Pillsbury Gluten Free Dough is available in three varieties, each under $5.00, and found in convenient tubs in the refrigerated aisle:
• Pie and Pastry Dough
• Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
• Thin Crust Pizza Dough
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
• 14.3 oz. tub for easy storage
• Makes approximately 16 2” cookies
• Classic Chocolate Chip variety
• 110 calories per serving
Thin Crust Pizza Dough
• 13 oz. tub for easy storage
• Makes one 10” pizza crust
• 170 calories per serving
Pie/Pastry Dough
• 15.8 oz. tub for easy storage
• Makes 29” pie crusts
• 250 calories per serving
My local grocery store had all three and I have recipes planned for the pie crust and pizza dough but since the theme of the day was baking I wanted to start with the gluten free cookie dough. This worked so well for these bars! I scooped the container out into my baking dish and pressed it down for the first layer.
These bars are a combination of those chocolate and mint candies with chocolate chip cookies on the bottom. So darn good. These did not last long! I brought some into work, and we ate a bunch too.
