Easy Cookie Bars with Chocolate Chips
“A huge hit” is what I heard from everyone who tries these chocolate chip cookie bars! Perfectly chewy with crispy edges and soft insides, these are ready to bake in just 10 minutes and are my go-to when I need a quick dessert recipe to impress a crowd.
Servings: 20 cookie bars
Ingredients
- 3 cups (360g) all purpose flour
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter room temperature, 2 sticks
- 1 ¼ cups (267g) brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line a 9x13 inch dish with aluminum foil.
- In a mixing bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and 1 & 1/2 cups of chocolate chips. Set aside.3 cups (360g) all purpose flour, 2 tsp cornstarch, 1 tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt, 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- In a larger mixing bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. You want this mixture to be fluffy and pale in color.1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, 1 ¼ cups (267g) brown sugar, ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, beat for 30 seconds.2 large eggs, 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed. The dough will be thick. I like to finish mixing the flour into the dough by hand with a spatula.
- Press the dough into an even layer in the foil lined 9x13 inch pan. Press the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips onto the top. Bake for 25-32 minutes or until the top of the bars turn golden in color. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool for 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
