These chocolate chip cookie bars are easy to make, incredibly delicious, and perfect for sharing at parties or as a sweet treat for yourself.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional add-ins: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or small caramel bits

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly to the edges using a spatula.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and onto a cutting board. Slice into squares or rectangles.

Notes

[‘Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother batter.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the bars tender.’, ‘Use high-quality chocolate chips for better flavor.’, ‘Take the bars out of the oven as soon as the edges turn golden brown to avoid overbaking.’, ‘Experiment with add-ins like nuts, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter for extra flavor.’]
