Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

You can use any frozen gluten free cookie dough or make a gluten free cookie dough from a store bought mix for these gluten-free chocolate chip bars. You can even use your own homemade cookie recipe!

If you are not gluten free you can use any cookie dough you want. I used chocolate chip cookie dough but you can also use snickerdoodle cookie dough, sugar cookie dough, or pumpkin cookie dough.

Dairy Free Chocolate Chips

Dairy free chocolate chips have a slightly more bitter taste, but this can be offset by using a sweeter gluten-free chocolate chip cookie dough.

If you do not have dairy free chocolate chips or are not dairy free, you can use regular chocolate chips. You can also use any left over chocolate you have like a cut up candy bar, peanut butter cups or m&ms in these gluten-free chocolate chip bars.

Peaches

Peaches have a sweet, juicy flavor that pairs well with the chocolate chips. They also add a nice fruity sweetness to the bars. Peaches are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as potassium. Vitamin A is important for vision health, and vitamin C is important for immune system function. Potassium is important for blood pressure regulation.

If you do not have peaches, you can use other fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries. You can also use dried fruit as well for these gluten-free chocolate chip bars.
