These chocolate chip cookie bars are so easy to make and are perfect for those times you feel like chocolate chip cookies, but can’t be bothered with the effort of scooping and rolling individual cookies. These bars are as simple as mixing the batter and baking for 20 minutes. No electric mixer is needed for this recipe, simply melt and mix.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease or line a square baking dish with parchment paper
2. Add the flour and baking powder to a large bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
3. Add the brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to another mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
Recipe Tip
The brown sugar can be substituted with white granulated sugar, or try 1/2 cup white sugar with 1/2 cup brown sugar. The flavor will be amazing either way!
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold through the milk chocolate chips.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until starting to turn golden and the top has set (the center will still be gooey, but don’t worry, this is the perfect texture you want). Allow time for chilling in the baking dish completely before removing and slicing.
