It’s also important to follow the steps in the recipe to get the correct swirl in your cookie bars, they will be baked for about 5 minutes, then you will remove them and swirl before adding them back to the oven to complete cooking.
Remember these should fully cool as well before cutting, they will continue to set up and harden during the cooling time. This works the best on a wire rack.
Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars can be cut and stored in an airtight container until ready to serve. They are great for sharing too at parties and keep well in an airtight container, similar to cookies.
