Ingredients

For Cookie Bars:

  • 1 ½ sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup (198 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (213 grams) light brown sugar packed
  • 2 large (100 grams) eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups (255 grams) chocolate chopped or chocolate chips

Instructions

For Cookie Bars:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F). Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl using a hand mixer cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing fully before adding the next. Add the vanilla and combine.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Mix in the chocolate.
  • Press the cookie dough into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cookie bars for 17-20 minutes. Bake for 5 minutes longer if you don't want the cookie bars to be as gooey.
  • Remove the chocolate chip cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool.

Notes

  • Add chunks of chocolate on top before baking. This will give you those incredible puddles of chocolate on top of the cookie bars.
  • Don’t use cold ingredients. Ensure that all of your cold ingredients are at room temperature before making your cookie bars. The ingredients will combine much easier and you won’t have chunks of cold butter in your cookie dough, which can lead to greasy cookie bars.
