1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined. Add in eggs and vanilla; mix until smooth.
4. Combine: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
5. Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
6. Spread the dough evenly into your prepared baking dish.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs.
8. Cool & Cut: Let cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into bars.

🧑🍳 Methods & Tips
Melted butter gives these bars a rich, dense, chewy texture. No need for creaming!
Brown sugar keeps them soft and moist.
Don’t overbake! They’ll firm up more as they cool.
Sprinkle with sea salt before baking for that bakery-style gourmet twist.
Try stuffing them with caramels or a swirl of Nutella for variation.

📜 History & Formation
These cookie bars are a modern spin on the classic Toll House cookie recipe, created in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield. Over the decades, home bakers began experimenting with easier forms—no scooping, no chilling, just a quick press into a pan and bake. The result? Pure magic. Bars like these became iconic in church cookbooks and potluck tables across America.
