CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS



Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars image

These bars offer the best of both worlds, cookie-wise: The edges are crisp and browned if you like crust, but the center cuts are extra gooey and rich.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook¿s Note)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine salt
One 12-ounce bag (a scant 2 cups) semisweet chocolate chips

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.

A blondie lover's dream, these bars are moist, dense and chewy. Perfect for a bake sale or as a take-a-long. They can also be cut into 1-inch bites for a large party.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield about 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

Cooking spray
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (about 12 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13by-9-inch baking pan with foil, letting the excess hang over the edges of the pan by about 1 inch (this will help you lift the bar easily from the pan in one piece). Spray the pan with cooking spray.
  • Mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugars until combined. Use a whisk or a rubber spatula to mix in the egg, egg yolk, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined (be careful not to over mix the dough or the bars will be tough). Fold in the chocolate chips and the peanuts.
  • Scrape the dough into the prepared pan, pressing and smoothing the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the top is slightly golden and firm to the touch and the edges are starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Lift up on the foil overhang to remove the bar from the pan, and transfer it to a cutting board. Use a ruler to cut it into 2-inch squares.

Great for potlucks, you may double the complete recipe and bake in two pans these freeze very well, in place of the nuts dried cranberries or raisins may be used or any dried fruit desired, this is a fairly sweet bar so you might want to reduce the sugars slightly if desired --- servings is only esimated depending on the size of the bars --- for greasing pan see recipe#78579

Provided by Kittencalrecipezazz

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 40m

Yield 25 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon maple extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
  • Grease a 13 x 9-inch pan (for thinner bars bake in a larger pan and reduce the baking time slightly).
  • In a large mixing bowl cream butter with both sugars until fluffy.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla; beat until well combined.
  • In another bowl mix together flour with cinnamon, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture until combined.
  • Mix in chocolate chips and nuts (batter will be very thick).
  • Transfer the mixture to prepared baking pan then spread out using a spoon.
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Chip Bars:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chips. The type of chocolate chips you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your bars. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate and have a high cocoa content.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. Overbaking the bars will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent the bars from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chip bars are a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
