Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
¾ cup salted butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and mix them well.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, light in color, and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in the egg and vanilla.

Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined.

Stir in most of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until thoroughly distributed.

Gently press the mixture into your pan.

Scatter the remaining chips over the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops of the cookie bars are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire cooling rack completely before cutting and serving.

Store in an airtight container.
