You guys!!!!! Take a DEEEEEEP breath!!
I’m SO excited to share this recipe with you! You have absolutely NO idea how challenging this has been, but I do believe I’ve created my best dream bar recipe to date.
*BIG sigh of relief*
Oh, yeah, haha breathe if you haven’t already. 😉

So, I’ve partnered with Davidson’s Safest Choiceâ„¢ Eggs to create a couple of recipes using their product and to tell you a bit about them if you may not already be familiar.
My grandmother’s recipe for Homemade Bailey’s Irish Cream had been sitting in my recipe box for years because it used three raw eggs. I know in this day and age people have concerns about digesting raw eggs and the threat of salmonella.
So, there wasn’t any way I was going to post something that might be harmful to you and your family or something that I didn’t feel 100% comfortable with. If I’m anxious in my gut about it, it’s not going up here on the blog. Period.
So, the Irish Cream recipe is incredible. We had it for St. Patrick’s day and can serve it to family and friends during the holidays. I’m eggs-cited (haha, get it? 😉 It’s just so appropriate though! ) because it will also make a great hostess gift! The taste is great and the eggs make it really creamy. I like it much better than the bottled and it’s less expensive.

The other recipe I wanted to use the eggs for which I hadn’t yet tackled is cookie dough and I know everyone loves cookie dough.
BUT…
Now there’s this thing about eating raw flour and how that might make some people sick. Can’t a girl get a break around here? Good grief. It seems as if everywhere we look we can’t eat this or ingest that because it will kill us.
I’m all for being careful and conscientious about what we’re putting into our bodies, but if we all obsess over it we aren’t going to be living life!
That’s where Davidson’s Safest Choice Eggs and a flourless cookie dough come in!
I have to admit that I was disappointed that I couldn’t get a regular chocolate chip cookie dough down because believe me, I tried.
I attempted using ground oats, but the texture was not up to par, so I scrapped it. Finally, I remembered my 13-minute 3-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies because they don’t have any flour, but they do use an egg to hold it all together! I knew it would be the perfect choice with a few chocolate chips thrown in because chocolate and peanut butter always go so well together anyway.
And it was the bomb. The BOMB, I tell ya! I think you’ll be pleased with how these bars turned out as my family certainly was!
I also know how some of you don’t like to use that whipped cream that comes in a tub that you find in your grocer’s freezer section. Fret no more!! I found a recipe to replace that. SO much goodness all rolled into this one recipe. WOO HOO! Here’s the recipe for the Stabilized Whipped Cream.
This recipe calls for two cups and the recipe will give you about three, so feel free to use more if you’d like. I’m not stopping you. 😉

Now these are some bars I’d happily dig into when I have a sugar craving! If they taste nearly as good as they look, they must be fantastic!

Dara, they are pretty delicious and didn’t last long around here. I’ll definitely be making them again and again.

These bars look absolutely DANGEROUS!!!! I love everything about them!

Thanks, Cathy, but they’re a good dangerous! 😉
Chandra says
Looks fabulous and going to make tonight!!!… quick ? For those who have made already….why when assembling the “cookie dough”… does it say to press into 7×7 square then quarter it….then to place qtrs onto crust and smooth seams?? Just wondering bc it seems it would be easier to shape until 7×7 then lay over crust and press down. Thanks so much for your help!!!
God Bless,
Chandra
Lynne says
Chandra, I rolled the cookie dough into a 7 X 7-inch square and then cut it into quarters to place it into the baking dish. I had tried placing it into the pan without cutting it apart, but it wasn’t working for me. If you can transfer it all in one piece without an issue, go for it! Just thought it might be easier for everyone to use the quarters and then smooth the seams.

But they are safe to eat with the raw egg in them without being cooked?
