- 2 large eggs | - 2 large eggs | ||
- 2 | - 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]. | |||
- For extra flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the sugar[7]. | |||
- Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top just after baking for a flavor boost[1]. | |||
- For thicker bars, use a 9x9 inch pan instead of a 9x13[6]. | |||
- Mix up the add-ins - try different types of chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit[1]. | |||
== Variations == | |||
- Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars: Brown the butter before adding it to the sugar for a rich, nutty flavor[7]. | |||
- M&M Cookie Bars: Substitute half the chocolate chips with M&Ms[5]. | |||
- Gluten-Free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour[6]. | |||
- Double Chocolate: Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder to the dry ingredients for a chocolate base[2]. | |||
== Storage == | |||
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]. | |||
By following these instructions and tips, you'll be able to bake delicious, chewy chocolate chip cookie bars that are perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own! | |||
