Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ½ cup of butter room temperature
  • ½ cup of shortening
  • 1 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla
  • 6 ounces of Semisweet Chocolate Chips (About 1 Cup each)
  • 6 ounces of Milk Chocolate chips
  • Top with- 1 cup of Mini Chocolate Chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13×18 sheet pan with parchment paper, foil or silicon pan liner, spray with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

 Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat together the butter, and sugars about 2 minutes until it is smooth.

Add the eggs and vanilla and mix on low speed until mixed in.

In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda and salt then add into mixer and mix together until just incorporated.

Add chocolate chips in and mix until incorporated. Dough will be very thick.

Spread thick cookie dough out evenly by dropping spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and spread out with fingers or it helps to spray a rubber spatula with non-stick spray.  Dough will spread out while baking, so you don’t have to get the corners and edges perfect. Sprinkle mini chips to the top of the dough.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on wire rack. Remove and cut into bars.  Makes 3-4 dozen bars depending how big you make them.
