How to Make Chocolate Chunk Cookie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon pure 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 2 cups chocolate chunks (or chips).
  7. Refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes. This step helps prevent the cookies from spreading too thin.
  8. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
