The taste was amazing. The bars took longer to cook at our altitude, (6400' 35 minutes) but the results were snapped up so quickly I have to make them again, soon.

This was a great recipe! I have never made cookie bars before and found that this recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I used 1 3/4 cups of Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips instead of semi sweet chips, and they taste fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!

Add a heaping serving spoon of crunchy peanut butter, amazing! Makes them smoother than without, a hit!

Making this now, made it in layers, layer of cookie dough, layer of left over icing / marshmallows, layer of cookie dough. Used 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup brown.

Going to make this recipe again... I think... First time I mad it for my 7 children and they fell in love with them! Being a single father it is very hard to find good recipes hope tis is the one! :)

Live in Denver, so added 2 tsp flour, 1 pinch baking powder, baked at 340°F, monitoring with a toothpick after 22 minutes. I didn't check again until 27 minutes, the toothpick came out pretty clean every time (unless I hit a chip) but it didn't seem ready so I waited until the edges were lightly browned and removed it from the oven at 30 minutes and let sit for 5 minutes. It was a little too moist but not too bad (wanted bars so that they would keep longer than cookies).

Other variances: Also added 1/2 tsp carob powder. My brown sugar was quite dry so I sprinkled some water to help mix but was probably not necessary since I had extra large eggs. I also pre-beat the eggs, so some air was blended into it upon mixing but possibly over-mixed (rubbery).

Results: MMMmmm... can't really taste the carob powder but I didn't want to overdo it. With the altitude and in a 9x13 glass casserole dish, they are almost exactly an inch thick. I'll probably try it with less sugar and more flour next time, should the compensation be 1:1?

This is our new family favorite! Delicious & so easy to make!

This recipe is the best chocolate chip bar ever - tastes kinda like it has caramel in it. I used dark brown for half the sugar (didn't have enough light brown)and they were moist and delicious. A recipe I will definitely use over and over. Thanks!

Delicious! Beryl's comment makes sense, as the first thing you do is combine melted butter and brown sugar, which is basically the recipe for caramel.

Just a word of advice, though; use the "toothpick test" as opposed to judging by softness. The finished product has more give than you would expect, which might deceive you into over baking, which is the worst thing you could do to these bars.

Very good!! Thank you :)

Just made these cookies and they're so easy and delish! They're going to be my faves!

Very soft and chewy, delicious! Reminded me of those soft cookies from the mall! I did add half oat flour to the regular!
