Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies

We just made this recipe and did what Dorothy, below, did; baked in a 8x8 inch baking dish @ 350°F for 50 minutes; it came out perfect, it separated from the baking dish (my wife says that is a good thing), light, tasty, great! I took a small bite after it came out of the oven and almost scorched my mouth -- but it was worth it.

Tasted great. Made a half batch. Thought a loaf pan would work, but no, that was a mistake. Ended up with nearly burned edges in order to completely cook the middle. Still really good, will use a different pan next time.

I love these bar cookies and usually use milk chocolate chips and vanilla flavoring. Adding a little more chocolate chips than what the recipe calls for gives the bars better flavor, although good with recipe amount also. I decided to keep using the milk chocolate chips but add cherry flavor instead, and they are delicious. Tastes a lot like chocolate covered cherries. If you like chocolate and cherries together you will love these!

I've made these many times and always enjoy them. Usually I make half the recipe to limit sweets and come out with about 18 bars. Great snack and easy to make!

Easy to prepare, great for a quick snack. Soft when still hot but do harden some when cool. Have made before and experimented with various chips, but do think I prefer the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

I made these cookies for the first time on December 14th. They are for my mother-in-law. I used 1/2 cup white chocolate chips and 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips. My family just loved them. They loved them so much I am baking another pan as I write this. A must try for every chocolate chip cookie lover.

Disappointed in this due to all the positive reviews! I followed the recipe exactly, but it does not have a strong a taste as I'd like, and is a little dry.

My family loves these! So easy and delicious. The texture is divine. I do double the chocolate chips and sometimes even add nuts. Either way, they always turn out beautifully.

I just tried this recipe... i have to say i did not like it at all... I followed directions and ingredients to a tee ..double and triple checked...it was just way too sugary... was like eating a bar of brown sugar... my 18 year old son who absolutely loves home made chocolate chips did not care for it either. I bake a lot and after reading first page of revues I was excited to try it...but was a big let down.. Will not make it again... Sorry

So Good! I love it. Can I bake these in cupcake pan instead of a 9" X 13" pan?

 Brittany (North Carolina) says:
I have made these bars probably about twice a month since discovering it in October (it's January). They are so unbelievably easy to make (one bowl? yes please) and I love that you don't have to wait around to do it in batches like cookies. The all brown sugar definitely gives them a different flavor that is awesome and cakey. Does anyone find that a half of a bag of choc chips isn't enough? I definitely start with that and always end up just tossing the other half in : )

I used convection so not sure if that was a factor but these and browned evenly which doesn't always happen with cookie bars. Great taste and texture and they look nice if you are taking somewhere which is always a plus.
