  • Afterward, prepare your 9x13-inch baking pan. And make sure to line your baking pan with heavy-duty foil. As a result, leaving some excess foil hanging over the edges of your pan at the long sides. Next, lightly grease it using a non-stick cooking spray. Bear in mind that this process will help you pull the foil to lift your cookie bars with ease.
  • After that, whisk together your flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Then, set it aside.
    2 cups and 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp of kosher salt, 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • Using a large mixing bowl, combine your melted butter, light brown sugar, and brown sugar. With that, make sure to use a whisk until well combined. Then, be sure to add in your egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. With that, make sure to whisk again to combine.
    12 tbsp of unsalted butter, make sure to melt and cool to room temperature, 1 cup of light brown sugar, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 pc large egg, 1 pc large egg yolk, 2 tsp of pure vanilla extract
  • With a rubber spatula, fold your dry ingredients into your wet mixture. And about halfway, add your chocolate chips. Afterward, continue to fold until just combined. Also, refrain from over-mixing.

  • Ensure not to overbake your dough to have chewy chocolate chip cookie bars. Remember, you can underbake it slightly and remove it from the baking pan. Then, allow it to rest on the cooling wire rack. And if you want, you can sprinkle some sea salt flakes over the top.
  • Finally, allow the chewy chocolate chip cookie bar to cool to room temperature. With that, make sure you do this before cutting into bars. Afterward, transfer into a chopping board. Then, cut using a knife or pastry cutter. As always, serve and enjoy!
