Notes

  • Notes about the Ingredients
  • This recipe calls for your usual baking ingredients, but here are a few tips to think about before you make the bars!
  • Variations
  • I like to keep these simple, but you can add some other mix-ins if you want to dress them up!
  • How do you store them?
  • Wait until the bars are completely cool before you slice them. At that point, you can keep them in an airtight container and they will keep well for up to a week at room temperature.
  • You can also freeze them! Store them in a freezer-safe container and the will keep well for up to three months. To thaw, just leave them out at room temperature.
  • Start with softened butter: It's a lot easier to mix softened butter, but it's also really important for the texture of the bars. So, be sure to leave your butter out at room temperature for at least 45 minutes before you start making them.
  • While you're at it, leave your eggs out at room temperature, too! Did you know that it's easier to incorporate them into the batter when they're not cold? I don't always remember to do this, but if you are leaving the butter out go ahead and take the eggs out too.
  • How you measure matters! This is especially important for flour. Instead of using the measuring cup to scoop the flour out the container, use a spoon and lightly spoon the flour into the cup. Then use a knife (or another straight-edge utensil) to level the flour off. Too much flour will make your bars dry and dense, so the spoon and level method will ensure you have the right amount.
  • Add some chopped nuts to the batter or sprinkle them over the top. Walnuts, almonds or pecans would work well!
  • You can mix the chocolate chips into the batter, too, and try mixing it up - dark, milk, or semisweet chocolate would be so good.
  • For fun, you could try using white chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips!
