Do you want some chocolate-chip-cookie-bars that are sure to please?

Chocolate-chip-cookie-bars are great for many reasons. The first is that they are delicious. The second is because they are easy to whip up and serve to a large crowd or unexpected guests. This recipe would also be considered a blondie. It is basically a chocolate chip cookie recipe that is baked in a pan rather than individually as a cookie. This recipe has a light colored crumb and is riddled with chocolate chips and walnuts. The result is a chewy and luscious cookie bar.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

2 sticks unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cups packed brown sugar

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

12 ozs. or 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Position a rack in the center of the oven level.

Preheat your oven to 350°

Butter and line a 10x15x1 inch jelly-roll pan with buttered parchment paper or foil

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda to mix.

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer beat the butter and sugars together until well mixed.

Beat in the eggs; one at a time.

Mix in the vanilla extract.

Next, stir in the flour mixture into the butter mixture.

Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.

Spread your batter into your pan and bake for about 30 minutes. ( Your batter will be a bit sticky!)

When done your blondies will be firm to the touch.

Remove your pan from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool.

After your blondies are cool, invert it onto a cutting board and remove your paper or foil.

Cut your bars into 2 inch squares.

You may store your blondies in a plastic container or tin for consumption within a couple of days. If you plan to freeze them, individually wrap them and freeze in a air-tight plastic container.
