Chocolate chip cookies
Here’s a simple recipe for lazy chocolate chip cookie bars:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
In a large bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips evenly into the cookie dough.
Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet).
Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan before cutting into squares.
Certainly! Here’s a variation for a gooey chocolate center:
Gooey Chocolate Center:
After spreading the cookie dough in the pan, press a layer of chocolate chips or chunks into the top of the dough.
This will create a gooey, chocolatey center when baked.
Salted Caramel Swirl:
Drizzle salted caramel sauce over the cookie dough before baking.
Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the caramel into the dough for a sweet and salty combination.
S’mores Bars:
Add crushed graham crackers to the cookie dough and mix in a cup of mini marshmallows along with the chocolate chips.
Bake as usual for a s’mores-inspired treat.
Experiment with these variations to find your favorite twist on these lazy chocolate chip cookie bars!
