Ingredients
- 3/4 cup salted butter 6 ounces
- 2 1/4 cup brown sugar 470 grams
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 358 grams
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 12 grams
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 grams
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Spray a 9x13 baking pan* with cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter completely. Add the brown sugar and use a hand mixer to mix the sugar and butter together well. 3/4 cup salted butter, 2 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition. 3 large eggs
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt, then mix again just until combined. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fold in the chocolate chips. The batter will be very thick. 1 cup dark chocolate chips, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Spread the cookie dough in the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes or until very lightly browned around the edges.
- These are meant to be gooey bars. If you don't want them gooey and would like them more crisp, go ahead and bake them a few minutes longer.
- Cut into squares once they are cool.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Store in a freezer for up to 2 months.
- Use an 11x14 or even 10x15 baking pan for thinner bars. They won't take quite as long to cook so watch them carefully.
- The calories shown are based on the recipe being cut into 20 pieces, with 1 serving being 1 cookie bar. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information.**
- Add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you'd like.
- Use milk chocolate chips or chocolate chunks if you prefer. I press a Dove chocolate into the top of the warm bars for special occasions. No one can resist a puddle of chocolate!
