Bake easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars with this simple recipe These bars are familyapproved so quick to make tested in my Texas kitchen get the recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or a mix!)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. You can also line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal – makes clean up a breeze!
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. You want it to be nice and airy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps distribute the baking soda evenly, which is key for a good rise.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing can lead to tough bars.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips. I like to reserve a few to sprinkle on top for a pretty presentation.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top, if desired.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake – you want them to be nice and chewy!
  • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This will help them set up properly. If you used parchment paper, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhang.
