We\u2019re using practically the same cookie recipe, but baking them as bars. Here\u2019s what you need:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour is the base of this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Soda:<\/strong> Baking soda helps these bars rise as they bake. Remember the crucial <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/baking-powder-vs-baking-soda\/\">difference between baking powder and baking soda<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Cornstarch gives the cookie bars that ultra soft consistency we all know and love. Plus, it helps keep them wonderfully thick. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> Salt adds flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Use melted butter in this recipe for the chewiest cookie bars. Because we use melted butter, there\u2019s no need to get out your mixer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> I like to use a mix of brown sugar and white granulated sugar this recipe. More brown sugar than white granulated sugar promises an extra soft and chewy cookie bar because there\u2019s more moisture in brown sugar. I slightly reduced the sugar in the bars; it made no difference between the version tested with 1\/2 cup sugar (100g).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg &amp; Egg Yolk:<\/strong> 1 egg binds everything together and 1 extra egg yolk adds richness and chewiness. You\u2019ll lose a lot of moisture by skipping that extra egg yolk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> Pure vanilla extract adds flavor. If you have any <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/homemade-vanilla-extract\/\" rel=\"\">homemade vanilla extract<\/a>, use that!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chocolate Chips:<\/strong> 1 cup of chocolate chips ensures tons of melty chocolate in each bite. Instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, try using dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips. Or swap half of the chocolate chips for M&amp;Ms like we do in these soft <a href=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/mm-cookie-bars\/\">M&amp;M cookie bars<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Flaky sea salt (I use and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3LSD42U\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">love this brand<\/a>) is a lovely touch that offsets the sweetness, but it\u2019s totally optional.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/soft-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie-bars\/?tp_image_id=146167\" data-pin-description=\"How to make chocolate chip cookie bars on sallysbakingaddiction.com\" data-pin-nopin=\"nopin\" data-pin-title=\"Soft &amp; Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars\" alt=\"ingredients on counter including flour, egg, egg yolk, melted butter, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and baking soda.\" class=\"wp-image-146167\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/flour-egg-egg-yolk-brown-sugar-cornstarch-melted-butter.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/flour-egg-egg-yolk-brown-sugar-cornstarch-melted-butter-500x750.jpg 500w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/flour-egg-egg-yolk-brown-sugar-cornstarch-melted-butter-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sallysbakingaddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/flour-egg-egg-yolk-brown-sugar-cornstarch-melted-butter-1024x1536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars<\/h2>\n<p>The dough is incredibly simple.

Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-2\">In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together. Set aside.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-3\">In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Add the egg, extra egg yolk, and vanilla extract. The mixture will be thick. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until combined. The dough will be soft and slick, yet thick. Fold in the chocolate chips. The chips may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to combine them.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-4\">Transfer dough to the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer. Lightly sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt, if desired. Also, I like to press a few more chocolate chips on top of the dough before baking; this is just for looks.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-5\">Bake for 30-34 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides. <strong>Err on the side of under-baking and do NOT over-bake,<\/strong> or the cookie bars will taste a little dry and cakey. Use a toothpick to test for doneness; if it comes out mostly clean from the center of the pan, the bars are done.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-6\">Allow the bars to cool in the pan set on a wire rack for at least an hour. Once relatively cool, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment and cut into squares.<\/li>\n<li id=\"instruction-step-7\">Cover and store leftover bars at room temperature for up to 1 week.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed\" id=\"tasty-recipe-video-embed-70422\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars | Sally&#039;s Baking\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v4fJKnecVE0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes\">\n<h3 style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"h3-color.color h3-transform.text-transform\">Notes<\/h3>\n<div class=\"tasty-recipes-notes-body\" style=\"color: #010101 !important;\" data-tasty-recipes-customization=\"body-color.color\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Make Ahead &amp; Freezing Instructions:<\/strong> You can make the cookie dough and chill it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
