How to Make Amazing Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and 2 large eggs in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined. Do not add chocolate chips yet!
  4. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  5. Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Sprinkle 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the dough.
  7. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven. The chocolate chips should be softened.
  8. Gently swirl the softened chocolate chips into the cookie dough using a knife or spatula until partially incorporated, leaving some visible chocolate chips for texture.
  9. Bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. (Check at 7 minutes and bake a few more minutes if needed)
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
