Slow Cooker Frosted Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
- Servings: 1 square
- Yield: 12 squares
- Prep Time: 15 min
- Cooking Time: 2 hr 30 min
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- FOR THE FROSTING
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Sprinkles (optional)
Preparation
- Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Beat butter in a large mixing bowl for 30 seconds. Add the granulated sugar and the brown sugar to the bowl and mix well.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
- Gradually beat in the flour mixture.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Line the bowl of the slow cooker with aluminum foil (this will make the bars easier to get out). Spread a little melted butter over the foil.
- Spoon the cookie dough on top of the foil and evenly spread out the batter.
- Cover and bake on high for 2-3 hours (mine takes 2.5 hours).
- Remove the bowl of the slow cooker and place on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
- Carefully grab both ends of the foil and lift out of the slow cooker bowl.
- Place on a large cutting board to cool completely.
- Slice into squares.
- FOR THE FROSTING
- Beat butter for a few minutes with a mixer with a paddle attachment on medium speed.
- Add the powdered sugar and turn on the mixer on the lowest speed to blend.
- Once sugar has been incorporated with the butter, increase the speed of the mixer to medium and add in the vanilla extract and the cream. Beat for 2 minutes.
- If the frosting needs to be thinner, add ½ teaspoon more of milk until you've reached your desired consistency.
- Spread the frosting over each of the cookie bar squares and top with sprinkles if desired.
