This isn\u2019t the recipe I expected to be posting today, but the other recipe I was testing just wasn\u2019t cooperating. So here we are. And honestly, things worked out pretty freakin\u2019 well because these are real<\/em> good. Like, damn<\/em> good. Ooey gooey vegan chocolate-almond cookie bars with tahini, oats and topped with sea salt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No resting the dough (unless you want to), no portioning into balls and no worrying about spreading or lack thereof. It\u2019s all made by hand and in the oven in no time. And it results in soft, chewy and decadent vegan cookie bars with crispy edges. Basically delicious cookies in bar form. Specifically these cookies<\/a>, just slightly modified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of the almond powder I used tahini and I also upped the flour just enough to help the bars set. I am all for<\/em> doughy cookies but we don\u2019t want a raw mess in the centre, ya know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t like or don\u2019t have tahini, it can be replaced with nut butter or nut-free butter. Or you could stick to the original chocolate chip cookie recipe and use almond powder. They\u2019re all great options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other changes are to the add-ons and can be modified to suit your preference. So rather than stirring in chocolate chips to the dough, I added oats for some extra chewiness. And opted to top the whole thing with pieces of chopped dark chocolate and almonds. Plus flaky or coarse salt, obviously. It\u2019s optional, but highly<\/em> recommended. For any cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can top it with whatever you\u2019d like! Pecans, walnuts, peanuts, pretzels, coconut, vegan marshmallows…the possibilities are endless. It\u2019s a great base recipe to make any vegan cookie bar, not just vegan chocolate-almond cookies bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
