🧈 Ingredients

For the Cookie Bars:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 ½ cups light brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks!)
  • Optional: ½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), for a little crunch
  • Optional: Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

🧑‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla; whisk again until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon—don’t overmix.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts, if using).
  7. Spread the thick dough evenly into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
  9. Let cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. If you can wait longer, even better—they cut beautifully when cooled completely!
  10. Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired, then serve, share, and prepare for compliments!

🏛️ History & Formation

These cookie bars are rooted in the classic American chocolate chip cookie—a staple since Ruth Wakefield first invented it in the 1930s. But over time, home bakers realized something magical: why drop individual cookies when you can press the dough into a pan and make thick, chewy bars?

The bar format offers less effort, no chilling time, and even more gooey goodness in every bite. It’s been passed from kitchen to kitchen, often with handwritten notes or little tweaks (like adding sea salt or browning the butter).
