Lazy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the perfect treat when you’re craving cookies but don’t want to spend a lot of time baking. These bars are quick, easy, and loaded with chocolate chips, making them a crowd-pleaser. Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Add the Dry Ingredients:
- In the same bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake the Cookie Bars:
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookie bars to cool in the baking dish for at least 10 minutes before cutting them into squares.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent treat, you can add nuts, like chopped walnuts or pecans, or a mixture of chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
- If you prefer softer cookie bars, underbake them slightly and allow them to cool completely before cutting.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
These Lazy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are a delicious, no-fuss dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra special treat!
