The Supermom Chef

I won’t deny it. I’m wholeheartedly a chewy cookie person! Don’t give some crunchy dry cookie! Give me the real deal…a chewy, thick bakery style cookie that is melty and gooey! If you fall into the same category as me, you’ll love these little squares. The other day I was in a hurry and was really craving some chocolate chip cookies but didn’t have time to make a batch and take the time baking different sheets of them and scooping them out and such. So I got the bright idea to mix up the dough, dump it all into a dish and just walk away while it baked. The result was a delicious bar cookie type creation that was right up my alley! I feel sure you’ll enjoy them just as much as I did!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

2 sticks butter, softened (don’t insult me and substitute margarine, please and thank you!)

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 1/2 cups flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 (12 oz) package semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter with sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture, slowly, until completely incorporated. Make sure to stop a few times and scrape down the side of the mixing bowl. Add chocolate chips and stir, by hand, until equally incorporated into dough. Pour into a 9×13″ baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake until the top is golden brown and the dough is set. Serve warm, if desired, with a scoop of ice cream and chocolate syrup.
