I thought it would be fun to come up with an easy cookie bar recipes because sometimes when I have a get together to go to, I want to bring cookies but I don’t have time to roll out all the cookies.
This recipe is great because I can just pour all the batter into the sheet pan and bake it all at once. The cookie bars come out perfectly cooked and taste delicious!
How to make cookie bars:
- Preheat oven and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper
- Make the cookie dough and then spread out into an even layer into the prepared baking sheet
- Bake for 20-25 minutes
- Allow to cool before cutting
- Enjoy!
How to adjust recipe for high altitude:
Decrease white sugar to 2/3 cup, decrease brown sugar to 1 cup, increase flour to 2 ½ cups.
How do you know when cookie bars are done?
I like to make sure the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Fun cookie bar ideas:
- Dip each bar halfway into melted chocolate for a fancy look
- Use colored candies instead of chocolate chips for different holidays
- Add a packet of instant pudding mix for a little extra flavor and more chewiness
