Thick and chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are an easy dessert that's perfect for any occasion!
Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup white sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 11.5 ounces (about 2 cups) chocolate chips, divided
- ¾ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together butter, white sugar and brown sugar for 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl, then add the eggs and vanilla. Beat for another 3 minutes, scraping the sides as necessary.
- Slowly add flour, baking soda and salt. Beat for 2 minutes.
- Fold 1 ½ cups of the chocolate chips, just until combined.
- Spread the dough evenly in the greased baking dish. Top with the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips, pressing down gently into the dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown and the bars are slightly firm to the touch. For chewy bars, do not overbake (maybe even under-bake slightly!).
- Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cool, slice into squares and serve!
Notes
- Recipe slightly adapted from Table Talk cookbook.
- The dough can be quite sticky, so I find that it's easiest to press the dough into the pan if you spritz your fingers with cooking spray or spray a piece of saran wrap and then press that onto the tops of the bars.
- Keep the cookie bars soft. Be careful not to over-bake the bars or they will not have that soft, chewy texture that we all love. When you remove them from the oven, the center will still be soft and may even look slightly under-baked. That’s fine! The bars will firm up as they cool, and will be perfectly buttery and chewy!
- Total baking time will vary depending on your oven, altitude and the type of pan that you use. I recommend a glass or light metal baking dish to prevent the edges from burning or becoming too dark too quickly.
