Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

 

2 3/4 c. unbleached ap flour

2 1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

2/3 c. (1 1/3 sticks) unsalted butter, melted

2 1/4 c. brown sugar

3 large eggs

2 c. chocolate chips, any kind

1 c. chopped walnuts or pecans

 

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 10x15 jellyroll pan, a 14-inch

deep-dish pizza pan, or similar. (For thicker bars, make this in a 9x13

pan.)

 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set

aside.

In another large bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, stirring

until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a

time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour mixture, then the

chocolate chips and nuts. Spread batter into prepared pan. (For pretty look,

sprinkle nonpareils or jimmies over the top at this point.)

Bake bars for 24-26 minutes, or until the top is shiny and golden. Don't

overbake, or the bars will be dry; a cake tester inserted in the center will

NOT come out clean, so baking by the minutes assigned and/or the sight test

is crucial. Remove bars from the oven and cool to room temp before cutting.

YIELD: 35 bars

 

Variation: Substitute 2 c. and a little more of M'n'Ms for the chocolate

chips.
