How to Make Quick N Easy Cookie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Mix well and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened margarine and ¾ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and ¼ cup water until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture (from step 2) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (optional) and 1 cup chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking pan.
  8. Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining 1 cup chocolate chips over the warm bars. Spread evenly using a spatula.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
