FAQS:
What is a No-Chill Cookie Recipe?
A No-Chill Cookie recipe is a cookie recipe that doesn’t require the cookie dough to be chilled prior to baking. This kind of recipe yields quick cookies!
Which dairy-free chocolate do I use?
For the melted chocolate, make sure to use dairy-free dark chocolate chips. Trader Joe’s (not sponsored) sells dairy-free dark chocolate chips with 72% cacao and they never disappoint. Also, they’re very affordable. Any dairy-free dark chocolate will work, just make sure it’s not too dark.
For the chocolate chips, I recommend using dairy-free milk chocolate chips. Use your favorite brand, or whatever you’re able to find. Sometimes stores are more likely to sell dairy-free milk chocolate bars, so chopping a bar will work just fine.
Which peppermint extract do works best in these mint chocolate cookie bars?
Any works! Make sure the label reads “Peppermint Extract” and you are good go. No need to splurge on this ingredient.
