Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar 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. NOTE: 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.

These cookie bars also make a great dessert when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Unless serving warm, it’s best to let these cookie bars cool completely in the tin.  The cooler they are, the easier they are to cut.
