Chocolate chip cookie bars are easy to make from scratch in your own home. This recipe requires no chilling time and no mixer - they're ready in less than an hour! These bars turn out perfectly chewy and are filled with melty chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, add melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir to combine. Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually stir dry ingredients into butter mixture until just combined. Add chocolate chips and stir until just combined.
Pour batter into 9x13 pan and use a spoon to spread evenly to the edges.
Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until evenly browned across the top and set in the center. Use a toothpick in the center to check for doneness. Remove from oven and allow to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes
Cookie bars will keep for 5-7 days in a sealed container. To help keep bars fresh, place a slice of bread in the container with the bars. Replace the bread slice as needed.
Cookie bars freeze well, up to 3 months in a sealed plastic container or freezer bag.
Optionally, add a cup of chopped nuts to the dough with the chocolate chips.
This batter is too thin to make into individual cookies. To make cookies instead, try my recipe for chewy chocolate chip cookies
