Mom Tips for Perfect Cookie Bars
- Room Temperature Eggs: Use eggs at room temperature for even mixing.
- Don’t Overmix: Stir until just combined to keep the bars tender.
- Watch the Baking Time: Overbaking will make the bars dry. Check a few minutes early if your oven runs hot.
Recipe Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9 by 13-inch baking pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
Stir until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars
