Remember when I shared the very best chocolate chip cookie recipes? I still love them and still think they are the tastiest chocolate chip cookies I've eaten, but sometimes I need something a little faster! Cookies are generally not fast, but what's to be done when there are weekday guests and you don't want to sacrifice taste? Mix up a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, of course!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat first three ingredients on medium speed until fluffy and well blended.
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add to butter mixture and mix well.
1 cup semi-sweet (or dark) chocolate chips
Stir into dough. Press mixture into 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes and cut into bars while still warm.
Makes 3 dozen bars.
For-fun variations:
- Cut into longer, skinnier chocolate chip sticks, ideal for dipping!
- Use a cookie cutter to cut out heart shapes for Valentine's Day!

I always make these in a 13 X 9 baking dish. They are so good and easy to make. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThese are a favorite in our house - they seem to disappear though, so much quicker than cookies!
