Recipe: Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Indulge in the chewy texture and rich flavors that these cookie bars bring to the table. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Directions:
- Prep and Preheat: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set this aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Then, add the eggs and vanilla, whisking until everything is well combined.
- Make the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is light golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan and cut into bars.
