Tips:

  • For a chewy cookie bar, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped nuts, dried fruit, or even candy pieces.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the dough, as this can make the cookie bars tough.
  • Bake the cookie bars until they are just set in the center, as they will continue to cook as they cool.
  • Let the cookie bars cool completely before cutting into them, as this will help prevent them from falling apart.
