A simple, quick, and delicious one-bowl chocolate chip cookie bars recipe featuring chewy centers and crispy edges, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt (preferably kosher salt)
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Pour melted butter into the dry ingredients. Add brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir gently until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, folding gently after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until batter is glossy.
  5. Fold in chocolate chips evenly with a spatula.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan using a spatula or back of a spoon.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes. Edges should be golden and crisp, center set but soft with moist crumbs on a toothpick.
  8. Remove from oven and cool completely on a cooling rack in the pan for about 45 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal. Avoid overmixing after adding eggs to prevent cakey texture. Melted butter creates chewier bars with crispy edges. Let bars cool completely before slicing for best texture. Refrigerate for 15 minutes if bars are too soft due to humidity.
