Gluten-Free, Salted Caramel & Dark Chocolate Cookie Bars
Soft, chewy Gluten-Free Cookie Bars with dark chocolate and caramel in every bite, then sprinkled with sea salt for the perfect salty-sweet combination.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 flour blend (with xanthan gum) I use King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure Flour.
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- ½ cup butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup caramel pieces I use Kraft Premium Caramel Bits.
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips Nestle Dark Chocolate Morsels are labeled gluten-free.
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Line baking dish with parchment paper to easily remove the baked cookie bar from the dish.
- In a small bowl, combine gluten-free flour, baking soda, and table salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the egg and beat well. Gradually, add the flour mixture and beat until well mixed.
- Fold in caramel pieces and dark chocolate chips. Chill dough in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Spread the dough into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes until the edges are dark golden brown and the top is firm in the center. Remove from the oven and immediately top with sea salt flakes. Allow to cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour, for easier cutting.
- Use the edges of the parchment paper to carefully lift the cookie bar out of the baking dish. Cut into 9 pieces (or 36 bite-sized pieces). Enjoy!
