Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Quick and easy-to-make chocolate chip cookie bars for your family, or a crowd!
Servings: 18 bars
Equipment
- 9x13" pan
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 c (2 sticks) butter I typically use salted butter
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar you can use light brown sugar if that's what you have!
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaked salt (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees if using a metal pan and 325 degrees if using a glass or ceramic pan. Grease a 9x13" pan
- Combine flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside
- Beat butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs until combined.
- Slowly add flour mixture into wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Spread dough into the pan in an even layer.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes at 350 degrees if using a metal pan and 30-38 minutes if using a glass or ceramic pan, until the top is golden brown.
- Sprinkle with flaked salt.
- Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- These cookie bars bake faster in a metal pan so be sure to adjust your bake time and temperature, as noted in the recipe, if you're using a glass or ceramic pan. If you have the choice, they bake more evenly overall in a metal pan so I would recommend that as my first choice.
- If you're looking to cut down the sugar a bit, you can make these with 1/2c granulated sugar (instead of the full 3/4c) and they still taste just as delicious!
- I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips, but my mom often makes them with milk chocolate chips.
- Do NOT over bake. The center will not be completely set upon removing from the oven.
