    I love making cookie dough bark - it's so good and so simple to make.  All the sweet awesomeness of cookie dough, without the risk of salmonella poisoning (because who wants to deal with that at Christmastime!?!) 

    This is made without eggs, and takes a shortcut from a bagged mix - pretty awesome, right?

    This Gingerbread Cookie Dough Bark is a great treat to whip up when you need just one more thing for the dessert table.  It's also great for gift giving!

    • sugar cookie mix ( like this gluten-free, allergy friendly mix)
    • butter
    • milk
    • gingerbread flavored candy melts
    • sprinkles

    Is raw flour safe to eat?

    Now, flour doesn't look like "raw" food, right? The truth is that raw flour can contain bacteria. Take proper safety precautions by lightly toasting your flour or baking mix before using it, here's how:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
    2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    3. Spread the baking mix out on it in a thin layer.
    4. Bake for 5 minutes.
    5. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before using.

    Not only will this make your baking mix safe to eat, but it also enhances the flavor by cooking out the 'raw' taste.

    The buttery flavor of the cookie dough is so good with the spicy gingerbread-flavored chocolate.  Your guests will literally not be able to stop eating this!

    Variations

    Gingerbread flavored candy melts can be hard to find sometimes. To get the same flavors, add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, plus ¼ teaspoon each of finger, allspice, nutmeg, and cloves to the cookie dough mixture. Substitute the gingerbread candy melts for another flavor such as vanilla or white chocolate.

    Ingredients

    • 1 pouch sugar cookie mix
    • 1 stick butter room temperature
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 bag 24oz gingerbread flavored candy melts
    • Sprinkles

    Instructions

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the sugar cookie mix on the tray and bake at 350-degrees F for 5 minutes so that the baking mix is no longer 'raw' and is safe to eat.
      1 pouch sugar cookie mix
    • Next, line a second cookie sheet with parchment paper – set aside.
    • In a large bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix with the butter and milk. You may find it is easiest to mix this dough with your hands.
      1 pouch sugar cookie mix, 1 stick butter, 2 tablespoons milk
    • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt half the candy melts per the instructions on the bag. Once smooth, pour the candy melts onto the parchment paper and spread to about ¼ inch thick. Working with a little dough at a time, top the chocolate with the dough. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until it is starting to harden.
      1 bag
    • Melt the remaining candy melts and pour over the top of the dough spreading it with a spatula. Top with sprinkles or other decorations.
      Sprinkles
    • Chill for 1 hour until completely hardened, then break apart and package up.
