Soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie bars, filled with mini chocolate chips, chocolate chunks and walnuts.
Today, I have partnered with DoubleTree by Hilton in celebration of their new Cook(ie) Book, Start with Cookies. All opinions expressed below are completely my own.
In honor of National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day on August 4, I thought I’d post an easy and crowd-pleasing recipe that everyone should have. We all have a chocolate chip cookie recipe we love, but do you know what is even better than chocolate chip cookies? Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars full of chocolate, sugar and walnuts.
Instead of scooping your cookies one by one, you simply spread the dough into a 9×13 pan and bake. Once they have cooled down, cut into small squares and call it a day. I mean, you can definitely cut these when they’re warm (because warm cookies always win over room temperature cookies), but you run the risk of not getting perfect edges. If you’re not photographing them for your blog (ahem), then by all means, dig in immediately. Perhaps with some ice cream too.

I think that should be 3/4 cup butter. These look delicious!!!
Jane S. says
These cookies look amazing!! Can’t wait to try them! Just checking, but did you mean 3/4 cup butter? That would be 12Tbs, not 1 1/2 cups. Just want to make sure I have the right amounts! Thanks, Lauren!!
Lauren says
Noticed that error right after you did! Meant 1 1/2 STICKS which is 3/4 cup.

The bars look great but they were a flop for me. I omitted the walnuts, due to our tastes, and used more chips instead. My 9×13 pan is not glass so I expected extra baking time. Even after 35 minutes, the bars are ridiculously soft and quite oily. I think the recipe needs more flour. A bit of a disappointment and I wouldn’t try this recipe again. Sorry, Lauren.
