Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the best and laziest way to bake chocolate chip cookies!
Equipment
- mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Mixing spoon or electric mixer
- 8"x8" baking dish
- parchment paper or non-stick spray
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup brown sugar NOTE: The brown sugar can be substituted with white granulated sugar, or try 1/2 cup white sugar with 1/2 cup brown sugar.
- ½ cups melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips NOTE: A roughly chopped chocolate bar can be used in place of the chocolate chips.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a square baking dish with parchment paper or prepare with non-stick spray
- Add the flour and baking powder to a large bowl. Stir to combine and set aside
- Add the brown sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to another mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold through the milk chocolate chips.
- 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).
- Allow time for chilling in the baking dish completely before removing and slicing.
Notes
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.
