Notes
- Do the toothpick test: If you’re confused about whether or not the cookie bars are cooked, do the toothpick test. If a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, it is ready to be out!
- Be temp smart: As with almost all cookie recipes, remember to start with room temperature eggs, as they’re easier to incorporate into the cookie dough.
- Adjust baking time: If you’re using a smaller or different sized pan, remember to adjust the baking time accordingly.
- Lining your pan: Allow the parchment to extend over the sides so you can easily remove the cookie bars from the pan.
- Do not over bake: We want these bars to have a soft, tender cookie-like texture.
