these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are perfect! No need to scoop individual cookies—just spread the dough in a pan and bake. They’re soft, chewy, and packed with gooey chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in chocolate chips and spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Enjoy: Let the bars cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
Pro Tip: For extra gooey bars, slightly underbake and let them set as they cool!
