Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
These chocolate chip cookie bars produce a thick, soft cookie. They are a great time saver since they take just a few minutes to whip up and cook all at once in the oven!
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour (390g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp kosher salt ¼ teaspoon if using table salt
- 1 cup butter melted and cooled slightly
- 1½ cups brown sugar packed
- ¾ cups white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips any kind you like, or a mix
- ½ cup toffee bits optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with foil and lightly spray the bottom with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring between each addition, and vanilla. Add dry ingredients a little at a time until incorporated. Stir in chocolate chips (save a few for the top if desired). Once dough is thoroughly mixed, press into the prepared baking pan. If using toffee bits, sprinkle evenly over the top of the bars.
- Bake for about 25 minutes (all ovens are different, set timer for 20 minutes to start checking on them. They will bake for 25-30 minutes, but some readers have reported they took longer). Remove from oven when edges are golden brown and center appears set, but still soft. Note that the centers will still appear soft and gooey (like the center of a perfectly baked cookie would be when it comes out of the oven) Cool completely to room temperature and then cut into squares. If you cut into these while still hot (and even warm) they will be very gooey in the center and you'll think they're under baked. This is how they should be when hot, and they solidify when fully cooled.
