Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the large eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan at room temperature before slicing into squares.
