Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
These soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie bars are beyond easy to make and full of chocolatey goodness with notes of brown sugar, vanilla, and salt.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (270g)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled, 170g)
- 1 cup light brown sugar (packed. 200g)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar (133g)
- 2 eggs (room temperature, large)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract (15mL)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (200g)
Instructions
- 1Set oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 inch baking sheet with parchment paper and melt the butter you'll need for the recipe in a large bowl.
- 2Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and corn starch to a medium bowl then whisk together and set aside.
- 3Pour the melted butter into a large bowl. Add the white and brown sugars and whisk together, they'll form a somewhat thick slurry.
- 4Add the eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix together well.
- 5Dump the dry mixture into the wet and mix until almost combined then stir in all but a handful of the chocolate chips, mixing so they're distributed.
- 6Transfer the dough to an 8x8 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper and spread toward the edges giving it a rough smooth. Top with the reserved chocolate chips.
- 7Bake for about 35 minutes at 350F. The cookie bars are done when the edges are set and golden brown and a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Let the cookie bars cool in the pan for about an hour before removing and cutting.
