EVERYONE goes crazy for these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars that are free of the top 6 allergens commonly found in baked goods—Dairy, Eggs, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat, and Soy (see note on coconut below).
An essential for those with allergies—Ooey Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars is one of my most popular recipes. These bars are just as popular with those who don’t suffer from allergies.
Note: These bars contain coconut flour. The Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut.
