Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
    Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting the paper come up over the edges so the bars can be removed easily after baking.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully combined.
  • Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, mixing until combined. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish (I use my hands to help spread it out) and sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Do not cut them while they are still warm or they will not hold their shape. Cut into 20-24 squares.

To Serve Warm:

  • Serve warm in a bowl with ice cream over the top.
    If the bars have already cooled, microwave the chocolate chip cookie bar for 10 seconds.
