Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

We had a Christmas in July family gathering yesterday and I made these delicious and simple cookie bars. They turned out great and the recipe was requested by a couple family members, so I figured I’d share it here too. 🍪😋

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
12-oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 9×13 glass baking dish.
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips by hand and spread evenly into prepared pan.
3. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan and then cut into bars and enjoy!

Looks good as always Sharon now i have to make a trip to the kitchen.

My wife makes these being diabetic she cuts down on the chocolate chips. I love the crunchy corners a edges so I bought her one of them silicone pans with about 2×2 squares. I’m going to ask her to make a batch tomorrow.

I use the same recipe for cookies and bars other than I double the vanilla. The recipe is from the Nestle’s Semi Sweet Chocolate Chip bag.

We argue in our household. I like the cookies soft, my wife likes them crisp. The bars are good either way.

I didn’t even know they made something like that! That’s kinda neat, especially for those who like the edges!

You are lucky you don’t live too close to me or every time you post one of your fantastic bake goods you would be finding me pounding on your door. Those look so good.

The pans work good for brownies too.
