How to Make Super Easy Chocolate Bar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Crust:** In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar with a pinch of salt for 30 seconds using an electric mixer. Beat until light and fluffy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually beat in 2 cups all-purpose flour on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Press ⅔ of the crust mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- **Filling:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup (6 ounces) of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir over low heat until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Spread the hot chocolate mixture evenly over the prepared crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the chocolate filling.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
