Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour Note: for best results measure your flour by first fluffling it up, then scoop, and level off the cup with the edge of a knife.
  • 1 1/4 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325F. Spray and line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper with long ends so that you can lift the bars out for easy slicing after baking.
  2. Cream the soft butter with the brown and white sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. Beat in the baking soda and salt, then fold in the flour until no dry streaks remain. Don't over-mix your dough at this point. When the flour is almost completely folded in, add the chocolate chips and finish folding until everything is well combined.
  4. Drop the dough by spoonfuls across the bottom of your prepared pan and spread it out evenly. I like to use my hands (flour them if too sticky) and an offset spatula to get it smooth and even.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until starting to wrinkle and turn golden around the edges. The center will still look a bit soft.
  6. Let the bars cool before lifting them out using the parchment paper sling. Cut them into 12-16 bars.

Notes

  • Love your cookie bars extra soft and gooey? Check them at 25 minutes.
  • If you want a memorable dessert, slightly under-bake these bars and serve hot, scooped in bowls and topped with vanilla ice cream.
