Let’s Get Down to Business!
Alright, let’s talk about the fun part: making these cookie bars. Get ready to bake your heart out!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure it’s nice and warm; we want these bars to bake perfectly!
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy. You’ll feel like a baking superstar!
- Add in the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Toss in that vanilla extract too; let’s make this smell amazing!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix this dry combo into the wet ingredients until you have a beautiful dough.
- Now comes the best part—fold in those dark chocolate chips! Go wild; you can never have too much chocolate!
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Feel free to save some chocolate chips for the top—because why not, right?
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes. The smell will take over your kitchen, and trust me, you won’t be able to resist!
- Once golden brown, take them out and let them cool for a while before slicing. Patience is key, my friend.
And there you have it! Delicious, gooey, chocolaty goodness that you can share—or not, we won’t judge. Enjoy every bite and prepare to be the star of your next gathering!
