Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars

I love these cookie bars! They taste just like chocolate chip cookies but they're so much easier to make. This is my go-to recipe anytime I need to make a dessert. I always have all of the ingredients and I can whip up a batch in no time!

Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Bars
2 1/8 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups chocolate chips (Any kind you like. I used half milk chocolate and half white chocolate)


Preheat oven to 325. Move oven rack to the lower-middle position. Mix together flour, salt, and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together butter and sugars. Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. With a rubber spatula, fold in dry ingredients. Do not overmix. Add chocolate chips. Line a 9x13 baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Pour cookie mixture into pan. Press down so it's even on top. Bake for 24-28 minutes, until lightly brown on top.

Makes 24 bars
