Double Chocolate Cookie Bars
Double Chocolate Cookie Bars use cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips blended into a butter and sugar base for a deeply chocolatey baked treat. The dough is spread in a thin layer on a lined baking sheet and baked until the edges set, producing bars with a tender crumb and rich flavor. After cooling, the cookie bars can be sliced and served, optionally with ice cream or chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
