Popular Substitutions For This Recipe

- If you don’t have bicarbonate of soda, you can swap it for baking powder – you’ll need to use 2 tsp of baking powder.

Top Tip

How do I store leftovers?
Store your leftover bars in a container for up to 7 days at room temperature. Although, if you can make it a whole week without scoffing the lot, you deserve a medal!
Can I Freeze This Recipe?
Freezing these cookie bars is a good way to extend their shelf life beyond a week. They actually freeze quite well. Simply store them in an airtight freezer-safe container – they’ll keep fresh in the freezer for up to six months.
How do I Thaw This Dish?
To defrost your frozen cookie bars, leave them to thaw at room temperature.
Can this recipe be scaled?
Yes, this kinder cookie bars recipe can be scaled, although you’ll have to use a large tin. You can double or treble the amounts below to make a large batch.
Can I use a bigger baking tin?
Yes you can. I recommend you use a 9 x 13 in (23 x 30cm) baking tin, but if you use a different size you’ll have to adjust the baking times. For a larger tin, you’ll need to reduce the baking time slightly, as the mixture will be spread thinner; while for a small tin, you’ll need to increase the baking time.
How do I know when it’s ready?
The baked cookie dough should be firmly set and lightly brown on top.
