Ingredients for Chewy Cookie Bars

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • All-Purpose Flour- Standard all-purpose flour is used to make chewy chocolate chip cookie bars.
  • White Sugar- White sugar is used in this recipe to make the cookie bars a bit more chewy.
  • Brown Sugar- Light brown sugar is a staple in chocolate chip cookies and is used in this recipe to add moisture and chewiness to the bars. Use dark brown sugar for an even more intense taste.
  • Salt- Salt is added to the dough to enhance the flavor of the cookies.
  • Baking Soda- Baking soda helps to leaven the cookies and makes them softer and chewier.
  • Vanilla Extract- Vanilla extract is used to add flavor to the bars. I prefer to use pure vanilla extract, but imitation vanilla will work as well.
  • Butter- Unsalted butter or salted butter can be used in this recipe, whatever you prefer.
  • Eggs- Large eggs are used in this recipe to add moisture and richness to the cookie bars.
  • Chocolate Chips- Chocolate chips are a must in any chocolate chip cookie recipe! I like to use semisweet chocolate chips in these bars, but you can definitely use milk chocolate chips, or a mix of the two. White chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and peanut butter chips are also an option.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a cookie bar? A cookie bar is made when you bake cookie dough spread out in an 8×8 or 9×13 baking dish instead of as a cookie. When the bars are done baking and have cooled, they can be cut into squares or rectangles.
  • Why make cookie bars? Cookie bars are a great way to make cookies because you don’t have to worry about forming them into balls and then flattening them out – the dough just goes into the pan and bakes that way. This is also a great way to make a big batch of cookies for a party or potluck!
  • How do you know when chocolate chip bars are done? These chocolate chip cookie bars will be baked for about 25-30 minutes. You will know that the cookie bars are done when the edges begin to brown and the center of is set. You can also test to see if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they’re done!
  • What is the best way to store cookie bars? The best way to store chewy chocolate chip cookie bars, is in an airtight container for 5-7 days at room temperature.
  • Can you freeze cookie bars? Yes, you can freeze cookie bars! I recommend cutting the cookies into bars and wrapping the individually in plastic wrap before freezing. They should last up to 3 months in the freezer.
  • How do you cut chocolate chip cookie bars? The easiest way to cut these bars is to leave them in the 9×13 pan and cut and serve them from there. If you want the cookie bars to have a more uniform look with clean cuts, you can place parchment paper in the pan before baking, then remove the cookies. Cut off the edges then cut the remaining cookie into bars.
  • What makes a chocolate chip cookie chewy or hard? There are a few things that determine if cookies will come out chewy or not. One is the sugar to butter ratio. If there is more sugar than butter, cookies will be chewier. The other is the baking temperature and time. If you bake cookies at a higher temperature for a shorter amount of time, they will come out chewier. If you bake them at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time, they will be harder.
  • What size pan is used for chewy chocolate chip cookie bars? For this recipe, you will use a 9×13 baking dish. I always use a glass Pyrex-style baking dish, but you can find more options for baking here.
  • What is the best brand of chocolate chips to make chocolate chip cookies? I have been making chocolate chip cookies for many years and have tried a lot of different brands of chocolate chips. My all-time favorite brand to make chocolate chip cookies is Ghirardelli. They make a really good, rich chocolate chip cookie. You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or milk chocolate chips in this recipe with great results.
