These chewy bars filled with chocolate chips get rave reviews from everyone who tries them. Just spread the dough in easy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies pan, bake, slice and go!
And if you are a bar and brownie lover like I am, you’ll go crazy for the thick, chewy texture these bars have. Making cookie bars isn’t as straightforward as just using your favorite Nestle Toll House Cookie recipe and putting it in a brownie pan. Because the dough bakes all in one square, slightly different proportions are necessary to achieve the chewy texture you want in chocolate chip cookie bars. Like my Sugar Cookie Bars, these bars turned out perfectly. And they’re so easy to make!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar Recipe Melted butter is the secret to a moist and chewy cookie bar! To make these bars, you start by melting butter in a sauce pan, then stir in brown sugar, vanilla and salt. After the butter mixture has cooled slightly, beat in the eggs followed by the flour and baking powder. Mix well to combine then fold in the chocolate chips. Scoop the batter into a greased 9 x 13 baking pan. Bake the cookie bars for about 30 minutes or until they’ve risen and the outside edges look shiny and fully baked. Note: Unlike other bars, you can’t test these for done-ness with a toothpick inserted into the center.
