Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

At camp we serve these fresh out of the oven - warm and gooey. Make sure you have a tall glass of ice cold milk to accompany these - or - we suggest a dollop of vanilla ice cream!

Thanks to Maeve N. and her family for making these amazing bars at home and taking photos for us!

Ingredients:

2 ¼ cups unbleached flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

¾ cup sugar

¾ cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips

Step One:

Preheat oven to 375°.  Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

 Step Two:

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.  Whisk to combine: set aside.  

 Step Three:

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.  Gradually add in the flour mixture. Then stir in chocolate chips.

Step Four:

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.  Cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!!
