These are seriously the Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars that I’ve ever tried. They are soft, buttery, and chocolaty all at the same time…seriously dangerous!

I’ll admit it.  I love a fresh chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven.  I would take that over pretty much any dessert you could name. So when I started playing around with this recipe and making it my own I knew I was getting myself into dangerous territory when it comes to keeping my sugar intake low.

 They just won’t last!

Need a great excuse to make them?

Make some for a family gathering, church gathering, or even as a Christmas Gift. Tell me you wouldn’t love to get a container of these as a Christmas present? Put them in a pretty box with a bow and a recipe card and… instant amazing present.

I made these for a birthday party and it was a huge hit.

I think most kids like cookies better than cake anyway.  Most of the time you can go to tons of trouble making amazing looking cupcakes and cakes and they will just lick the icing and throw most of it away…at least that’s my experience at birthday parties.  Instead, make a giant cookie and be done with it.   Everyone’s happy.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

An important tip: don’t over bake. Take these out when they first start to brown. The center will still look moist, but not raw. They will continue to bake for a few minutes after they are taken from the oven.

These will make 16 cookie bars or 32 cookie bites.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup honey, or sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2-1/2 cups non bleached white flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine melted butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips.
• Mix dry ingredients with the wet ingredients.
• Scrape into a 9in x 13in glass dish. Bake at 375 Fahrenheit for 25 minutes or until lightly brown. Do not over cook or it will dry out too quickly (you want that center to remain moist).
