How to Make Chocolate Highlander Cookie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter with ½ cup powdered sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the dough evenly into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan using your fingers.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven; do not turn off the oven.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
- Add 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour; mix until just combined.
- Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave until smooth and melted, stirring frequently.
- Stir the melted chocolate chips into the egg mixture until well combined.
- Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the baked cookie crust in the 9x13 inch pan.
- Bake for another 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with additional powdered sugar while still warm.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into brownie-sized bars.
- Refrigerate for easier cutting, if desired.
