• Small bowl: to mix together the dry ingredients.
• A baking dish or pan: 9×13 inch baking dish or a square pan to bake the cookie bars in.
• Parchment paper or nonstick cooking spray: To prevent the cookie bars from sticking to the pan.
• Rubber spatula: To mix in any ingredients for which you are not using the mixer and to spread the cookie dough evenly in the pan.
• Whisp (or some other kitchen device): to mix the dry ingredients
• Electric mixer or hand mixer: to beat the butter, sugar, and eggs together.
• Optional: Ziploc bag  or airtight container – to store your cookie bars in the freezer for an extended period of time to keep them fresh.

Toll House Cookie Bars Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, or lightly coat your preferred pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer or hand mixer,  combine the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the room temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then mix in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet batter, mixing until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan.  For chewy cookie bars with a perfect texture, do not spread it too thin or overwork the dough.  

The ideal thickness is about 1 inch for this chocolate chip cookie bars recipe.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Please note that if you use a darker pan, the bars may cook faster, so check them about the 20 minute mark and adjust as needed.

Let the Nestle Toll House Cookie Bars cool completely in the pan before slicing into individual servings.

If there are leftovers of your batch of cookies, store bars in an airtight container or Ziploc bag.

They can be stored at room temperature for about 5-7 days or refrigerated for a little over a week. If you can’t get through them that quickly, freezing this delicious cookie bar is the best way to preserve them.

These Nestle Toll House Cookie Bars are a perfect treat for bake sales, a cookie exchange, or a quick dessert for you and your family.
