A delightful cross between classic cookies and chewy blondies, these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are warm, buttery, and filled with melty semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Optional: sprinkle of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Mix the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth in a medium bowl.
  4. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and whisk until glossy.
  5. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just incorporated.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  7. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press into an even layer.
  8. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, and press extra chocolate chips on top.
  9. Bake for 30 to 34 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
  10. Allow to cool in the pan for at least an hour before cutting into squares.

Notes

For deeper chew, press a few extra chocolate chips into the top right after baking. Store bars at room temperature for up to 3 days.
