How to Make Bar Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
