Description

These Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are soft, moist and addictive. Made with oil instead of butter, they stay nice and tender.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (or other neutral oil of choice)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (I like a mix of milk and semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt.
  3. In another bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix together well. Add the eggs and mix them in. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Stir in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. You’ll probably need to press it down evenly with your hands. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 18-22 minutes. Do not over bake.
  7. Let the bars cool before cutting into bars and serving.

Recipe Notes:

You can use any mix of chocolate chips you’d like. I’ve used white chocolate, butterscotch, milk chocolate – even mint chips are great!
