Description

This recipe provides a simple and quick way to make rich, gooey chocolate chip cookie bars, perfect for busy families or last-minute gatherings. It offers guidance on achieving a chewy texture with classic flavor and includes options for dietary adaptations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract until the mixture becomes glossy.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. For a fun family twist, add colorful sprinkles at this stage.
  7. Press into Pan: Press the dough firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan using your hands or a spatula.
  8. Bake Bars: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still looks slightly soft and gooey. If the center still seems too jiggly, bake another 2-3 minutes. Absolutely avoid overbaking.
  9. Cool Completely: Let the Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares. This ensures the best chewy texture and clean cuts as the bars firm up.

Notes

Ensure baking soda is fresh for best rise and texture. Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough bars. Cool bars completely in the pan before slicing for best texture and clean cuts. Consider using quality chocolate chips for enhanced flavor. For a lighter bar, reduce chocolate chips by a quarter.
