Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Description
The recipe starts by combining melted unsalted butter with packed brown sugar and white sugar until creamy. Eggs and vanilla extract are blended in next to enrich the batter. Dry ingredients including flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder are sifted and folded in just until combined, preserving a tender texture. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are stirred through for even distribution.
Spreading the batter in a prepared 9x13 inch baking pan creates a uniform layer that bakes for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F. The resulting bars have a chewy edge and soft middle, combining the flavors of chocolate chip cookies with easy slicing and serving conveniences.
These cookie bars can be cut into pieces to serve as a dessert or snack. The thicker dimension compared to typical cookies lends itself well to portion control and sharing at gatherings.
