Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9”x13” baking pan with nonstick baking spray, and set aside.
- In a the bowl of a stand mixer using the flat beater attachment, whip the softened butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until the butter is light yellow and the sugars are well incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until combined. Scrape down the sides using the rubber spatula, ensuring all ingredients are getting mixed.
- Measure the flour, salt and soda into the mixing bowl before turning on the mixer at a low speed. Continue mixing until the batter has come together and is nice and sticky.
- Measure in the bittersweet chocolate chips, and gently fold them into the batter using the flat beater attachment.
- Scoop the cookie dough out of the bowl and into the prepared baking pan. Use your hands to press the batter out evenly throughout the pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool completely on a wire cooling rack before cutting into 24 cookie squares.
- Enjoy with a glass of your favorite kind of milk!
Notes
- Recipe adapted from my Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies. (Thanks, Ms. Chris!)
- Can they be made dairy free? YES! Make dairy free chocolate chip cookie bars by substituting equal parts coconut oil and applesauce for the butter. This will make for a softer cookie bar, but they’re still delicious.
- Substitutions: If you don’t like bittersweet or dark chocolate chips, feel free to use milk chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips instead. Keep in mind that those will make these bars a little sweeter, so maybe aim for using 1 cup instead of 1 ¼ cups of chocolate chips.
- Storage: Store the cookie bars on a plate with plastic wrap over it or in their original baking dish, covered, for a few days.
