Easy Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

These dessert bars are made with a buttery cookie base, loaded with chocolate chips, and baked until golden brown. The result is a chewy, gooey texture that makes them a favorite among chocolate chip desserts. This recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 generous bars.

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• Optional: sea salt for sprinkling on top

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
4. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Bake: Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares. Optionally, sprinkle with sea salt before serving.
