These Bars are Easier than Chocolate Chip Cookies

Skip the scooping and make your chocolate chip cookies in a pan instead! These buttery, soft and chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars require no mixer, no chilling, and no fuss.

Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter melted and then cooled for at least 5 minutes (226g)
1 cup light brown sugar tightly packed (200g)
¾ cup sugar (150g)
2 large eggs + 1 egg yolk room temperature preferred
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (285g) (please note that in the video I accidentally said 2 ½ cups flour, that is incorrect and you only need 2 ¼ cups as written here)
2 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour in the UK)
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (340g)

Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:24 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a 9x13 pan by lining with parchment paper (or lightly grease and flour).
00:29 Combine melted (cooled) butter and sugars in a large bowl, stir well.
00:52 Add eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
01:13 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
01:38 Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until completely combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
01:56 Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake on 350F (175C) for 25-30 minutes or until edges just begin to turn golden brown.
02:45 Allow to cool before cutting and serving (don't cool too long, though -- these are amazing when served still slightly warm!)

Notes
This recipe can also be baked in a 9x9 pan but will need to bake about 5-10 minutes longer.

I just made your choice chip cookie bars. BEST EVER! I am 89 years old and legally blind. Most recipes are too difficult for me to read and follow. But your recipe was clear and easy. The only change I made was that I browned the butter to a caramel color. Thank you for makiingbthis old lady’s day Bless you. Agnes Steinmiller

I was scrolling through cookie 🍪 bar recipes and your description of the process and texture caught my attention. I started mixing up all the ingredients and got to the flour and realized I didn’t have enough. I was about 3/4 of a cup short so I substituted oatmeal for the difference. I have 2 minutes left until they’re done baking. Hopefully 🤞 it works.
