CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• In a large bowl sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 1/2 tsp salt.
• In a separate bowl add 1 cup of melted unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 1/4 cup of golden brown sugar. Using a whisk, mix it all together for about 1 minute. You want to make sure the sugar and butter are well incorporated together.
• Now add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk again thoroughly.
• Now add the flour mixture to the cookie batter and mix together using a spatula.
• Reserve 1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips from 2 cups before adding them to the cookie dough. Mix them in thoroughly.
• Now line a 9x9 inch deep baking dish with parchment paper and press in the cookie dough. Now top it with the remaining 1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and bake at 350°F for 40-50 minutes on the center rack or until the center is baked through. Every oven is different so the bake time may vary.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• Put the butter in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave on medium power until melted. Alternatively melt the butter in a small saucepan. Brush some butter on the inside of a 9-by-13-inch pan and cool the remaining butter slightly. Whisk the remaining cooled butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spoon or spatula, taking care not to over mix. The batter should be thick and all of the flour mixture should be fully incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake until the edges are browned and the center is completely set, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, at least one hour, cut into 24 pieces and serve.
