Baking chocolate chip bar cookies is a simple and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to bake them:
== Ingredients ==


Ingredients:
For a standard 9x13 inch pan of chocolate chip cookie bars, you'll need:
- 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
 
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour  
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
 
== Instructions ==
 
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
 
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
 
3. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk until well blended and smooth.
 
4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
 
5. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
 
6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top if desired.
 
7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. If reserved, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
 
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
 
9. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into bars.
 
== Tips for Perfect Cookie Bars ==
 
- Use melted butter for a chewier texture. The melted butter coats the flour, creating a denser, chewier bar[1].
 
- Don't overbake. The bars may look slightly underdone in the center when you take them out, but they will continue to set as they cool[2].


Instructions:
- For extra flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the sugar[7].


1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top just after baking for a flavor boost[1].


2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- For thicker bars, use a 9x9 inch pan instead of a 9x13[6].


3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, white granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix up the add-ins - try different types of chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit[1].


4. Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
== Variations ==


5. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until well combined.
- Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars: Brown the butter before adding it to the sugar for a rich, nutty flavor[7].


6. Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
- M&M Cookie Bars: Substitute half the chocolate chips with M&Ms[5].


7. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Gluten-Free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour[6].


8. Pour the cookie dough into the prepared baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Double Chocolate: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a chocolate base[2].


9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is set.
== Storage ==


10. Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing them into bars and serving.
Store cooled cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months[4].
