Can you make these gluten free cookie dough cookie bars nut free?

You can definitely make this recipe nut free, though you will end up with 6 layer bars :-). To make this 7 layer bar recipe nut free, leave out the almond flour from the crust…making sure to use 1 tablespoon less melted butter.

Don’t forget to skip the pecan layer too!

How to make gluten free cookie dough 7 layer cookie bars:

These bars are really easy to make…you are basically adding all of the ingredients in “layers” that all bake together.

To make these gluten free 7 layer bars a little different, I used gluten free vanilla wafers. Several companies make these, I used the ones by Kinnikinnick. I smashed these cookies with almond flour (to add some protein to balance out the sugars.)

Take the smooshed gluten free cookie crust crumb almond flour mix and add melted butter. (If you are making your cookie dough 7 layer bars dairy free, make sure you use coconut oil instead of the butter.) Mix them so that you get a slightly damp feel.

Spray an 8×8 baking dish with coconut oil. Press the crust layer into the baking dish. I used my hand to then compress the layer so that it is packed tightly.

Other Gluten Free Crust Options:

If you don’t want to use the gluten free vanilla wafers, you can use gluten free graham crackers or even smashed up gluten free sandwich cookies.

Add chocolate chips on top of the crust layer. You can use regular or dairy-free chocolate chips…bittersweet, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate (or get adventurous and use butterscotch!)

Add your favorite chopped nuts. I used pecans, but you can use walnuts or any nut!

Add 1/2 of the shredded coconut. Spread evenly over the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Next, pour the condensed milk on top of the coconut layer. Top the condensed milk with the remaining shredded coconut.

Now it is time to make the gluten free cookie dough!
