Ingredients: For tasty Lazy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars, you will need:
Unsalted butter: The bars are enhanced in taste and texture by the butter, which also serves as a cohesive element.
Sugar: The inclusion of brown and granulated sugars creates a caramel flavor and a chewy, tender consistency in the bars.
Eggs: The role of eggs in the bars is to provide stability and retain moisture.
Vanilla extract: The bars are given a sweet, floral touch through the addition of vanilla extract.
Flour, salt, and baking soda: The bars are held together by the flour, while the baking soda contributes to their expansion and the salt helps to regulate the level of sweetness.
Chocolate chips: The bars gain a luxurious and smooth feel from the inclusion of chocolate chips.
How to make lazy chocolate chip cookie bars recipe:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and smooth.
Blend the eggs and vanilla flavor into the mixture.
A separate bowl should be used to mix the ingredients of flour, baking soda, and salt with a whisk until fully blended.
Mix the butter and flour mixtures by gradually incorporating the flour into the butter, stopping when they are merely combined..
Blend in the chocolate chips.
Place the batter into the ready baking pan with an even distribution.
Begin baking the bars by setting the oven to the desired temperature and cooking for 25-30 minutes, or until the toothpick test shows no batter on it when inserted into the center.
Remove the pan from the heat and let the bars settle for 10 minutes before dividing them into squares for serving.
My Best Tips for the yummiest lazy cookie bars:
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a rich and creamy flavor.
- Cut the bars into neat squares after they have completely cooled to maintain a clear and defined appearance.
- For an extra boost of flavor, adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter is recommended.
- Chopped pecans or walnuts can provide a crunchy texture when added.
