Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Imagine a chocolate chip cookie but in a bar form! The slices are thick, yet soft and chewy, and a little crispy on the outer edges. Perfect in every way in my opinion. Easy to make and perfect to bring to a group. Made with basic chocolate chip cookie ingredients!
Servings: 16
Equipment
- 9x9 baking pan
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
- Measuring cups
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup light or dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour spoon & leveled
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Spray a 9x9in square baking pan (or any similar size, 8x8 is too small) with oil or butter.
- In a large bowl or standing mixer, cream together butter and sugars. Once combined, add in the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, sea salt and mix until everything is incorporated. Add in the chocolate chips. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Press dough into your greased pan and add a few extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes. At 30 minutes, take a piece of aluminum foil and gently fold over the pan. This helps prevent the bars from getting too brown.
- Cook until the edges are set and the middle is still soft but not raw. Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
