Description
These thick, buttery cookie bars are everything you love about classic chocolate chip cookies—but even better! Baked to golden perfection with crispy edges and a gloriously gooey center, they’re studded with melty chocolate chips in every bite.
Ingredients
- 240 grams melted butter
- 70 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 300 grams all purpose flour
- 200 grams chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
-
Combine Sugars & Butter: In a large mixing bowl, blend the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter together. Don’t worry if the mixture looks grainy or separated at this stage – this is completely normal.
-
Incorporate Eggs: Add both eggs to the sugar-butter mixture. Use a whisk to beat everything together until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and fully unified.
-
Add Dry Ingredients: Switch to a spatula and gently fold in the baking powder and all-purpose flour. Be careful not to overmix – stop as soon as no dry flour remains. This gentle approach keeps the bars tender.
-
Mix in Chocolate: Now for the best part, stir in your chocolate chips! Add as many as you like (we recommend being generous). The dough will be thick and studded with chocolatey goodness.
-
Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line your baking pan with parchment paper, then transfer the dough into it. Use the spatula to spread it evenly into all corners.
-
Bake to Perfection: Bake for exactly 30 minutes. The bars should be golden around the edges while still slightly soft in the center, this gives that perfect gooey texture.
-
Cool ProperlyL Let the bars cool in the pan for a little. Then carefully lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
