Directions -
Preheat your oven to 170 degrees fan/200 degrees conventional.
Melt the butter in the microwave and then mix together with both sugars in a large glass bowl.
Add in the egg, vanilla extract and red food colouring. Mix together.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt and cocoa powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing as you pour.
Add in 275g of the Milkybar chocolate to the cookie dough, mixing so the chunks are distributed evenly. Set aside 25g to put on top of the cookies.
Place the cookie dough in a greased and lined 8x8” pan.
Place in the middle of the oven and cook for approximately 18-20 minutes depending on how soft you want your cookie bar to be.
Once cooked, take the cookie bar out of the oven and allow to cool. It will continue to cook whilst they cool.
Place the remaining Milkybar chunks on top of the cookie bar and cut into squares.
Serve and enjoy!
