Salted Caramel Bar Cookie
I’m back at ya with another bar cookie recipe. This one has quickly become a go-to this summer. The key to this recipe is to use Lily’s Salted Caramel Baking Chips. They are chocolate salted caramel chips and they are sweetened with stevia instead of sugar. Not only is this perfect for individuals who struggle with maintaining glucose levels, but it is the perfect chip for a bar cookie that already has sugar in the recipe.
I usually buy Lily’s Baking Chips from my local Walmart, but of course, Amazon comes through with these as well. Lily’s has other flavors of baking chips as well, and they are all sweetened with stevia instead of sugar. I have yet to try these baking chips out in any ganache sort of way, but it is on my list to try soon.
Salted Caramel Bar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1½ cups quick oats
- 8 oz Lily’s Salted Caramel Baking Chips
- 8 oz Heath Bits O’Brickle
Instructions
- In an electric mixer, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix on medium high until a whipped consistency.
- Add in the eggs+egg yolk, heavy whipping cream, and the vanilla extract. Mix to combine, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as you go.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and oats. Whisk until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients ⅓ at a time, mixing slightly in between each addition.
- Add in the Lily’s Salted Caramel Chips and mix on low to evenly distribute the chips. In a 9×13 inch cookie sheet, grease the bottom and sides, then press the cookie dough down evenly into the cookie sheet.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for 15-18 minutes or until the sides begin to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle the Health Bits O’Brickle over the top. Place back in the oven for one more minute. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Have you tried Lily’s baking chips yet? If you have, how do you like them? Do they satisfy your sweet tooth, or do you prefer baking chips that don’t have stevia in them? Personally, I love Lily’s baking chips. They have quickly become a staple in my pantry.
Hope y’all are having an amazing week. Stay safe, be kind, and hug your loved ones.
