Equipment

  • 9-inch Baking Pan
  • Hand Mixer or Stand Mixer
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup salted butter softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and mix them well.
  • Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth, light in color, and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix in the egg and vanilla.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture until just combined.
  • Stir in most of the semi-sweet chocolate chips and mix until thoroughly distributed.
  • Gently press the mixture into your pan.
  • Scatter the remaining chips over the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops of the cookie bars are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire cooling rack completely before cutting and serving.
  • Store in an airtight container.
