Make the ultimate chewy chocolate chip cookie bars in one pan. This simple recipe delivers rich, gooey, family-favorite dessert bars perfect for baking for a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in both types of chocolate chips using a spatula.
  7. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookie bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  10. Cut into squares and serve your easy dessert bars.

Notes

  • For extra gooey results, slightly underbake the bars by about 2 minutes.
  • You can substitute half the chocolate chips with chopped nuts or butterscotch chips for a variation.
  • These pan baked desserts freeze well once cut; place parchment paper between layers before freezing.
