🍪 Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars

“I cannot be left alone with this stuff. I’ll eat the whole batch in one sitting. It’s seriously THAT GOOD.”

These cookie dough bars are the ultimate indulgence: soft, chewy, packed with chocolate chips, and impossibly addictive. Perfect for dessert lovers, chocolate fanatics, and anyone who believes cookies are a love language.

🌟 Introduction

Cookie dough has a magical way of bringing out the inner child in all of us. The creamy, sweet, slightly salty dough paired with melty chocolate chips makes it nearly impossible to eat just one. These bars are inspired by traditional chocolate chip cookies but are baked in a pan, making them easier to serve, share (if you’re willing), and devour.

Whether you’re making them for a party, a cozy night in, or just because life is too short for moderation, these bars will deliver maximum joy in every bite.

📝 Ingredients (Big Batch, Serves ~12–16)

For the Cookie Dough Base:

  • 2 cups (450 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (330 g) packed brown sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 5 cups (625 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

For the Chocolate Explosion:

  • 4 cups (700 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: 1 cup (175 g) white chocolate chips or chunks

Optional Toppings / Lovers’ Twist:

  • Sea salt flakes for sprinkling
  • Crushed nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds)
  • Caramel drizzle

🥄 Method / Instructions

1️⃣ Prep & Preheat

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking pan or line with parchment paper for easy removal.

2️⃣ Make the Cookie Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet until combined.

3️⃣ Add the Chocolate

  • Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips (and white chocolate, if using). Make sure chocolate is evenly distributed—every bite deserves a little love.

4️⃣ Bake & Enjoy

  1. Spread dough evenly in prepared pan.
  2. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until edges are lightly golden but center is soft (it will continue to firm up as it cools).
  3. Let cool completely in pan before slicing into generous bars.

📖 History & Formation

Chocolate chip cookies were invented by Ruth Graves Wakefield in the 1930s at the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. Originally intended as a cozy, homemade treat, cookie dough bars evolved as bakers sought ways to share cookies in a pan instead of one by one. The addition of chunks, drizzles, and salty-sweet toppings turned them into the modern indulgent dessert we crave today.

Forming these bars is simple: think of them as chocolate chip cookies that grew up—spread, baked, and shared, yet still soft enough to melt in your mouth.

💕 Lovers’ Notes

Cookie dough bars are perfect for:

  • Chocolate lovers: the more chocolate, the better.
  • Sweet tooth enthusiasts: soft, chewy, sugar bliss.
  • Sharing (if you can part with them): these are easier to portion than individual cookies.
  • Late-night snacking: they’re dangerously good with milk or coffee.

Methods for Lovers:

  • Chill for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner bars.
  • Serve warm with ice cream for maximum romance.
  • Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before baking—it’s a game-changer.

🎯 Conclusion

These Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bars are the ultimate guilty pleasure. Soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate, they are impossible to resist and perfect for lovers of sweets everywhere. Whether you eat them in secret or share with friends, one thing is certain: they will vanish fast.

If you want, I can also make a “mega version with layers of chocolate, caramel, and cookie dough frosting” that turns this into a dessert tower worthy of serious Instagram envy.

Do you want me to make that ultimate layered version too?
