Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Time: 45 minutes
Yield: about 30 bars
Recipe from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe
2 1/8 C flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking soda
12 T butter (1 1/2 sticks)
1 C brown sugar
1/2 C white sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 t vanilla
2 C chocolate chips (I used semi sweet, buy you can use what ever suits your fancy)
1. Melt your butter in the microwave. Add the brown sugar, white sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla to the butter. Whisk it around until well combines.
2. In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients.
3. Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredient and stir just until combines.
4. Fold in your chocolate chips.
5. Line a 9×13 pan with tin foil. Spray it down with some cooking spray and press your cookie dough into the pan. The tin foil is going to make it super easy to pull these bars out of the pan.
6. Bake at 325 for 24-28 minutes.
7. Let your pan cool on a wire rack for a bit. I didn’t let mine get all the way cool before I cut them, and it worked out fine. I like to eat my cookies warm.
8. Pull the tin foil out of the pan and on to a cutting board. Cut the bars as desired. ENJOY!

I'm making these TODAY! They look so yummy!
Thanks for the pdy recipe Jaime! (pretty darned yummy) Easy too!
I had everything on had but the semi sweet. so I sent the hubbie to the sore for these. I am making them for my family tonight. I can't wait. thank you. I love your site. I just emailed your link to two of my family members because I love it so much. Thank you.
These are dangerous! Half the pan is gone already and I just made them late this morning! I added some walnuts into the batter and I didn't mix in the chips..I sprinkled some on top and pushed them down in a bit. I did that only because I wanted half of the pan chocolate and the other half white chocolate and coconut (that was really good too!). Yum yum…into the recipe box of favorites it goes!
These were soo good!! Made them last night and everyone loved them. The first recipe I have tried on your site and can't wait to give some more a try. I did end up cooking longer than your suggested time though, they seemed way too gooey and doughy even at 28 minutes, or is that how they are supposed to be?
Hi there! I found this post through a link on Pinterest! This recipe looks so yummy! Where did you find that cutting tool?
Hi Katie,
The knife you see in the pictures is part of knife set I use. I'm actually giving two of these knife sets away this week. Here is the link.

Made these today. They ROCK! So choc full of chocolate and chewy yumminess. They are not lasting long around here. Thank you for the recipe.
I have these in the oven right now. I didn't have two full cups of chocolate chips so I used about 3/4 cup of peanut butter and milk chocolate chips to make up the difference. I'll let you know how they turn out. Thanks!
I’ve made these a few times now, and this is my new go-to cookie bar recipe. It actually turned out like the picture! These are delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
